QUANTUM CLOCK Military infrastructure in Thailand is entirely built relying on a single navigation system, the GPS. All essential services including emergency aids, electricity consumption, vehicle piloting, air traffic control etc., will be put on a total cease at a conflict that leads to the GPS shutdown. Self-development of quantum clocks would result in self-reliance accurate time standard that will equip the military with independent communication and positioning system as well as counterbalance the sole international proprietorship business. Consumer Electronics Rubidium Frequency Standard The hyperfine ground-state transition of 6.834682610904324 GHz from rubidium atoms is used to set forth the 10MHz frequency standard. A miniature module weight less than a cigarette lighter cost less than 1,500 Baht including shipping! Quantum Tech: A stream of photons emitted from a rubidium discharge lamp get filtered out by using Rb-85 isotopic filter. The light passing through is used to optically pump thermal rubidium-85 atoms in a glass cell to the upper hyperfine ground state, the signal at the light detector behind the glass cell is low. By tuning the MW frequency to the resonance frequency of the hyperfine ground-state transition (6.834682610904324 GHz), the light intensity at the detector regains to its maximum. Finally, the MW signal is divided down to 10MHz for the use as a frequency standard. Direct Societal Impact: Drone swarm, mobile device positioning, grit battery management, artillery positioning. Collateral Advantages: Precision agriculture and other mobile consumer electronics.
