Description

The University of Birmingham invited tenders for supply of a quantum stabilisation
platform for the motion control of quantum gravimeter systems. The stabilisation
platform workstation will form part of a physical demonstrator, i.e. facilities created
as
part of the Quantum Technologies Hub - the EPSRC funded project.
This will be used to ensure vertical alignment of an atom interferometer quantum
sensor during mobile operation & provide vibration isolation so that the sensor
doesn't
exceed its dynamic range. The equipment is an essential integral part of the sensor
suite
to be used in the real-world map-matching activity. The requested equipment will be
integrated into the field-capable gravity gradiometer.
Overall budget for this item is up to £300,000.00 excluding VAT, including delivery
to
the University of Birmingham, training and manuals and warranties over the length of
the Quantum Technologies Hub grant i.e. 30th November 2024.
