| Secondary Schools | Artin yanesi | Inertial navigation systems provide continuous estimates of position, velocity, and orientation without relying on external positioning signals. However, measurement noise and sensor bias accumulate over time, leading to navigation drift. This research explores a hybrid quantum-classical approach that combines cold-rubidium atom interferometry with conventional inertial sensors to investigate the potential for improving navigation accuracy. The proposed system uses laser-cooled rubidium atoms as a quantum sensing medium. Laser pulses manipulate the atomic wave packets, producing an interference signal whose phase contains information about inertial effects. A fluorescence-based detection system is proposed to measure the relevant atomic state populations and extract the interferometric signal. The computational framework is intended to model the relationship between acceleration, interferometric phase, measurement uncertainty, and navigation-state estimation. Quantum measurements could then be integrated with conventional accelerometer and gyroscope data using a Kalman filter or another suitable sensor-fusion algorithm. A comparative evaluation against a conventional inertial navigation baseline would be used to investigate the effects of measurement noise, sensor bias, and measurement update rate on navigation drift. The study aims to determine under which conditions quantum measurements could provide a measurable benefit over classical inertial sensing. The proposed system consists of a cold-rubidium atomic source, a vacuum chamber with optical access, a laser manipulation system, an atom interferometer, fluorescence detection, conventional inertial sensors, and a computational processing unit. These components form a conceptual architecture for investigating the integration of quantum sensing into an autonomous navigation system. A simplified atom-interferometer model can express the acceleration-dependent phase shift as Δφ ≈ k_eff aT², where k_eff is the effective wave vector, a is the acceleration component along the sensitive axis, and T is the time between relevant laser pulses. A more complete model would incorporate realistic noise sources, systematic errors, laser phase fluctuations, and experimental limitations. The main challenges include maintaining a stable vacuum and optical environment, controlling systematic measurement errors, accounting for the relatively low update rate of atom interferometers, and integrating quantum measurements into a continuously operating navigation system. Future work will focus on developing and validating the computational model, implementing the sensor-fusion algorithm, and comparing the hybrid architecture with a classical-only baseline under identical simulated conditions. Further development could include three-dimensional vehicle-motion simulation, live trajectory visualization, and experimental validation of selected system components. This research aims to establish a physically grounded framework for evaluating the feasibility and limitations of quantum-enhanced inertial navigation, particularly in environments where satellite-based positioning systems are unavailable or unreliable. | Artin yanesi | artin.1389.y@gmail.com | 09022572314 |
