Why quantum satellite gravimetry?

Why quantum satellite gravimetry? B.C. (Bart) Root, an Assistant Professor at Delft University of Technology, investigates the significance of quantum satellite gravimetry in this intriguing analysis. Quantum technologies in space are the next engineering frontier. Especially in space gravimetry, it will be a game- changer for monitoring global mass transport processes, such as hydrology and solid-Earth processes. Classical space technology is optimally developed but at its operational limits. To go beyond is to use quantum sensing, achieving higher precision and extreme stabile observations, which would result in smaller-scale and shorter temporal signature detection.
