The project is led by Postdoctoral Research Fellows Dr Charles Woffinden and Dr Andrew Groszek, who were also behind the earlier research.

Congratulations to all involved on moving this breakthrough one step closer to deployment!

It builds on earlier work supported by EQUS’ Translational Research Program and the Australian Army, where classical sensors were used to demonstrate the concept. The CTCP project takes the next step by integrating quantum sensing for higher resolution and precision.

This capability has major implications for transport logistics, improving load optimisation, vehicle safety, and operational efficiency across sectors such as freight and defence.

This allows not only for accurate weight measurement but also a detailed 3D map of how the mass is distributed and where the centre of mass lies.

Unlike traditional weighbridges that only measure an object’s total mass, this new technology will use high-precision quantum sensors to map the gravitational field produced by a vehicle.

Quantum tech is advancing fast, but many policymakers and business decisionmakers find themselves confused by the science, let alone how to ID opportunities or risks

This 4-module, instructor-paced course explores enough of the science to boost your understanding, so you can make informed decisions

2022-24 Roadtrips by EQUS & @darkmatteraus.bsky.social plus earlier EQUS outreach efforts since 2018 have reached 4000+ students

As part of its legacy, EQUS will co-sponsor the 2025 edition, which will continue to be led by CDM after EQUS ends. See more at www.qdmroadtrip.org

Travelling 8000km Brisbane↝Broome the 13 scientists visited 18 schools + delivered 6 public events in remote towns + additional events in major cities + online

The goal was to make quantum science accessible to students who may never have met a scientist before
