Quantum Spin Gyroscope

Abstract

Gyroscopes find wide application in everyday life, from navigation to rotation sensors in hand-held devices and automobiles. In addition, they can be used as inertial sensors to guide unnamed vehicles and to integrate Global Positioning Devices. Despite several advantages, including ease of fabrication, that have allowed conventional micro electro-mechanical systems (MEMS) gyroscopes to gain ubiquitous usage, they suffer from drifts after a few minutes of operation, making them unattractive for the most advanced applications. Other systems have different limitations, in particular the required large volumes.
