OUTLINE

Such a platform will benefit future high-capacity network systems, navigation, and other services. Since the dawn of history, mankind has elaborated technologies for timekeeping and developed applications to fully use time resources. These technologies have triggered a paradigm-shift in communication and information technologies. In order to facilitate a new breakthrough in industrial and academic fields introduced by highly-precise clocks, we will develop transportable and compact “optical lattice clocks” that allow remote maintenance and unattended operation.

By networking them via phase-stabilized fibers, we will demonstrate clocks’ application to relativistic geodesy and establish a space-time information platform that will substitute GNSS.
