Quantum projects launched to solve universe’s mysteries
Researchers will use cutting-edge quantum technologies to transform our understanding of the universe and answer key questions such as the nature of dark matter and black holes.
UK Research and Innovation (UKRI) is supporting seven projects with a £31 million investment to demonstrate how quantum technologies could solve some of the greatest mysteries in fundamental physics. Researchers from the University of Cambridge have been awarded funding on four of the seven projects.
Just as quantum computing promises to revolutionise traditional computing, technologies such as quantum sensors have the potential to radically change our approach to understanding our universe.
Date Time
£7.2m quantum network will develop technology to probe Universe’s mysteries
The Atom Interferometry Observatory and Network (AION), led by Imperial researchers, will accelerate searches for dark matter and gravitational waves.
The UKRI Science Technology and Facilities Council (STFC) has provided £7.2m of initial funding for the project within its new Quantum Technologies for Fundamental Physics programme.
AION is a uniquely interdisciplinary mission that will harness cold atom technologies to address key issues in fundamental physics, astrophysics and cosmology that can be realised in the next few decades. Professor Oliver Buchmueller
AION will enable a ground-breaking search for ultra-light candidates for dark matter – a mysterious substance that makes up 85 percent of the ‘missing’ matter of the Universe.

The Dark Energy Survey has released a massive, public collection of astronomical data and calibrated images from six years of work. Containing data on nearly 700 million astronomical objects, this second data release in the Survey s seven-year history is the topic of sessions today and tomorrow at the 237th Meeting of the American Astronomical Society.[1]
