UK Unveils Revolutionary Quantum Atomic Clock for Enhanced Military Security
2025-01-02
The UK's Defence Science and Technology Laboratory (Dstl) has developed a revolutionary quantum atomic clock with unprecedented accuracy, losing less than a second over billions of years. This breakthrough enhances military operations' security by reducing reliance on vulnerable GPS technology. Deployable within five years, the clock is expected to be miniaturized for mass production, with applications in military vehicles and aircraft. Beyond defense, this technology boosts industrial progress, creates high-skilled jobs, and strengthens the UK's global competitiveness in quantum technology.
