to sensors, like the one we're sending up into space, to computers.

And the reason that matters is because they can do things that classical technologies can't do, nor will ever be able to do.

And so what we're doing is, in the case of sending this product up into space, is to replace some technology we put into space back in 2018 called the Cold Atom Lab.

And what that is doing is

doing experimentation on quantum, because you can actually experiment on quantum better in microgravity in space, and it's a proving ground for being able to sense what's happening on the world's surface, or under the surface with extreme precision, or sense what's happening around to other spacecraft in space.

And the level of precision that we can bring with quantum is orders of magnitude bigger than what you can do with classical technologies.

ISS, its role is changing.

So where next?

There's a proving ground for the tech.

There's a proving ground for where you put that tech.

Correct.

So in 2018, actually, Christina Cook, the astronaut who's currently on Artemis II, installed our tech on the ISS, and they've been working to make sure this technology works on the International Space Station, so a human in the loop.

Next stop is to put what we call our quantum gravity radiometer into a satellite, which we're working with NASA to do.

And so we're taking it from research in space to an application in space.

And what that quantum gravity gradiometer will do as it circles the Earth's orbit from a satellite is sense changes in gravity on the Earth's surface with extreme precision.

And you can infer all sorts of interesting things by the way gravity changes.

So you can infer the depletion of aquifers underneath the Earth's surface.

You can see what kind of things are being built underneath the Earth's surface.

So all sorts of very interesting use cases.

Hey, Matt, go ahead and hold that up again because Bloomberg Tech executive producer Jackie Lopez wants to see it.
