This project will combine world-leading Australian signal stabilisation technology with recent developments in quantum sensors to demonstrate the world’s first quantum telescope. This project expects to demonstrate that quantum detectors can feasibly link optical telescopes, separated by hundreds of kilometres, to achieve extremely high-resolution imaging. Expected outcomes are the development of technologies that will enable imaging with resolution more than 20 times better than any existing telescope. This will provide significant benefits for astronomy, space situational awareness, and defence.

该项目将把世界领先的澳大利亚信号稳定技术与量子传感器的最新发展相结合，展示世界上第一台量子望远镜。该项目预计将证明量子探测器可以可行地连接相距数百公里的光学望远镜，以实现极高的传输距离。预期成果是开发出比现有望远镜高 20 倍的成像技术，这将为天文学、太空态势感知和国防带来重大好处。
