The gMOT project will play a key role in the UK's strategic programme to bring the remarkable new capabilities of quantum physics out of research labs and into real world applications. Kelvin Nanotechnology, TMD Technologies and the Universities of Strathclyde and Glasgow have teamed up to create the first miniature cold atom trap source for deployable quantum technologies. This will bring together key processes developed by the partners in areas that include diffractive optics design and fabrication, innovative bonding and sealing methods, physics package encapsulation, complex alkali metal vapour filling techniques and performance evaluation methods. Combining these individual technologies into working prototypes units will also enable rigorous testing by industrial users to assess performance, stability and suitability for the next generation of quantum technology systems in a wide variety of industrial applications.

gMOT 项目将在英国战略计划中发挥关键作用，该战略计划将量子物理学的卓越新能力带出研究实验室并进入现实世界的应用。开尔文纳米技术公司、TMD 技术公司以及斯特拉斯克莱德大学和格拉斯哥大学联手打造了第一个用于可部署量子技术的微型冷原子陷阱源。这将汇集合作伙伴在衍射光学设计和制造、创新粘合和密封方法、物理封装封装、复杂碱金属蒸气填充技术和性能评估方法等领域开发的关键工艺。将这些单独的技术组合到工作原型单元中还将使工业用户能够进行严格的测试，以评估下一代量子技术系统在各种工业应用中的性能、稳定性和适用性。
