Objectives and Applications
OSCAR-CUBE (Optical Sensors based on CARbon materials: QUantum BElgium) is a scientific experiment designed, built, and operated by students. It is an ambitious experiment that uses quantum technology to perform extremely rapid and precise measurements of the Earth’s magnetic field. The team will use the data collected to create a high-resolution map of the magnetic field around the globe.
