International Supply Networks have to cope with changing customer demands, innovative technologies, and increasingly ecological awareness in a complex context, whereas the challenges’ consequences are hardly predictable. Hence, a modelling concept might be useful to analyse and develop system designs and deduce design options, which can applied to the real world in order to enable the system to...

Abstract Information on the Earth’s gravity provides significant strategic support for economies, defense and security. An atomic gravimeter (AG) realizes highly precise measurements of gravitational acceleration by virtue interference. Vibration noise is a strong contributor to limitations measurement sensitivity accuracy an AG. compensation methods thus enhance environmental adaptability AG s...

Atom interferometry offers new perspectives for geophysics and inertial sensing. We present the industrial prototype of a type quantum-based instrument: compact, transportable, differential quantum gravimeter capable measuring simultaneously absolute values both gravitational acceleration, $g$, its vertical gradient, $\Gamma_{zz}$. While sensitivity to g is competitive with best gravimeters, on...
