Quantum Atomic Interferometer For Precision Motion Sensing #Sensors #Science @Hackaday
Hackaday posts about the current state of the art in portable sensors. Today these are MEMS devices, and you can get them for the cost of a hamburger. But if you want the ultimate in accuracy, you’ll soon want a quantum atomic interferometer. What is that, and how it will be possible to make one small enough to be useful?
“Want to see how good or bad inertial navigation is in real life? A fantastic device for doing all this complicated multi-sensor fusion stuff is the Bosch BNO055, for which Adafruit have helpfully popped on a module. You just might want to brush up on quaternions before you do, mind.”
You can read up on the methods scientists and engineers are getting towards a viable quantum atomic interferometer in this Hackaday article. If you wish to learn about inertial navigation, the paper An introduction to inertial navigation by Oliver J. Woodman (PDF) is very handy.
Adafruit publishes a wide range of writing and video content, including interviews and reporting on the maker market and the wider technology world. Our standards page is intended as a guide to best practices that Adafruit uses, as well as an outline of the ethical standards Adafruit aspires to. While Adafruit is not an independent journalistic institution, Adafruit strives to be a fair, informative, and positive voice within the community – check it out here: adafruit.com/editorialstandards
Stop breadboarding and soldering – start making immediately! Adafruit’s Circuit Playground is jam-packed with LEDs, sensors, buttons, alligator clip pads and more. Build projects with Circuit Playground in a few minutes with the drag-and-drop MakeCode programming site, learn computer science using the CS Discoveries class on code.org, jump into CircuitPython to learn Python and hardware together, TinyGO, or even use the Arduino IDE. Circuit Playground Express is the newest and best Circuit Playground board, with support for CircuitPython, MakeCode, and Arduino. It has a powerful processor, 10 NeoPixels, mini speaker, InfraRed receive and transmit, two buttons, a switch, 14 alligator clip pads, and lots of sensors: capacitive touch, IR proximity, temperature, light, motion and sound. A whole wide world of electronics and coding is waiting for you, and it fits in the palm of your hand.
