1. Quantum Technologies at ESA

Dr Bruno Leone (ESA)

13/02/2023, 13:10

Quantum Technologies are regarded as high-priority and strategic at the European Space Agency.
The presentation will sketch how quantum technologies development activities are coordinated and supported across the different ESA Directorates and programmes.

2. The Challenges of Space Quantum Devices

Dr Craig Colquhoun (Craft Prospect)

13/02/2023, 13:45

In recent years, significant effort has been focused on developing quantum technologies for use ‘in the field’ resulting in a remarkable reduction in SWaP for portable quantum-based apparatus. The use of quantum devices in space poses yet more engineering challenges over terrestrial devices. I will present some of these challenges and discuss design considerations to overcome them, and improve...

3. How to make electronics work in the space environment

Mr Mike Salter (RAL Space)

13/02/2023, 14:20

A discussion on the engineering challenges of making electronic systems work reliably in the space environment, and the wide range of options and approaches that can be used to mitigate them for different styles of mission.
