Scientific activity

The QTech laboratory brings together ONERA’s activities in quantum technologies for applications in aeronautics, space and defense. These activities are organized around 4 thematic axes: cold atom sensors (inertial sensors and electromagnetic field sensors using Rydberg atoms), quantum computing, quantum communications and quantum optronics. The above-mentioned list of permanent members is not exhaustive; only the axis leaders are mentioned.
