Quantum Clock Market Research Report

The market size of quantum clocks reached US$449.32M in 2022, and is expected to grow to US$759.86M by 2030, with a CAGR of 6.56% from 2019 to 2030. During the forecast period, the size of the quantum clock market shows an upward trend year by year, and will continue to grow in the next few years. In general, it can be seen from the table that the quantum clock market has certain growth potential and there is still much room for development in the next few years.

With the construction of 5G network and the progress of artificial intelligence and information society, the transmitted big data puts forward higher requirements for time synchronization of various intelligent mobile terminals. Quantum clocks can provide high-precision time benchmarks for remote control of mobile network terminals and various artificial intelligence devices. In military applications, quantum clocks can be mounted on a variety of weapons such as extended-range projectiles to improve strike accuracy. It can also be installed on a variety of portable individual devices to maintain high-precision time synchronization between mobile combat units and command systems. It is expected that the atomic clock will play an important role in the information battlefield.

The clocks and watches that people usually use have an error of about 1 minute per year with high precision, which has no effect on daily life, but more accurate timing tools are needed in demanding production and scientific research.

At present, the quantum clock is the most accurate timekeeping tool in the world, which provides a strong guarantee for astronomy, navigation, and space navigation. The International System of Units (SI) defines the second as the time, it takes a cesium-133 atom in a precisely defined state to oscillate exactly 9,192,631,770 periods. 

Researches on atomic clocks is shifting from the microwave frequency band to the optical frequency band. Because the optical frequency is 4 to 5 orders of magnitude higher than the microwave frequency, the uncertainty accuracy of the optical atomic clock will be better than that of the microwave atomic clock under the condition of the same transition spectral line width. At the same time, chip-scale molecular clocks (CSMC) have also made new research and commercialization progress. Chip-scale atomic clocks (CSAC) are also mature and commercially available.

Microwave atomic clock, optical atomic clock and molecular clock are the three current categories of quantum clocks.

The principal process of the microwave clock is shown in the figure below. Optical atomic clocks are similar in structure to microwave atomic clocks, including a wave-emitting shaker, a wave-counting detector, and an atomic control unit for adjusting the oscillator when out of sync. The frequency of the laser is much higher than that of the microwave, and the biggest difference is that the microwave oscillator is replaced by an ultra-stable laser. The laser oscillation frequency is too fast to be read electrically, so an optical frequency comb is required.

There are many different types of atomic clocks, but they generally share the same basic working principle, which is described below.

The global demand for quantum clocks is mainly driven by the military sector, with aerospace being the main downstream application. In recent years, with the development of mobile communication, the scale of maritime field has increased, the market share of civil field has increased rapidly, and the market scale has increased rapidly.

According to ICV, the share of quantum clock applications in 2022 is mainly military applications, accounting for about 62 %. According to the ICV forecast, the quantum clock market will grow rapidly in the private sector in the future. It is speculated that the civil field will account for about 38 % in 2022. The civil scene is mainly divided into the right picture, which is divided into 46 % of the basic research. time-frequency 44%. and 10 % in other fields. On future trends, further research on optical and molecular clocks will increase the market for basic research. However, the infrastructure of civil 5G and information society will make the time-frequency market in the civil field grow faster. In the future, quantum clocks are likely to give birth to more applications, such as judging altitude by small time differences at different heights.

In general, the civil scenarios of quantum clocks in the future will be relatively increased compared with relatively stable military applications. The military market may also have new applications, and the quantum clock market has great potential.

The market share of quantum clocks is mainly distributed in North America, Europe, China, and other regions in the Asia-Pacific region except China. The market share from large to small is : North America ( about 41 % ), Europe ( about 23 % ), China ( about 21 % ), Asia-Pacific region except China ( about 10 % ), and other regions ( about 5 % ).

In general, the quantum clock in North America may be the largest application area of quantum clock because of its relatively early development and mature market. The market share of Europe and China is similar, accounting for 44 % in total, and it is also the main use area at present. The Asia-Pacific region ( excluding China ) accounts for about 10 % and 5 % in other regions, which is relatively small and has great development potential.

The main players of quantum clocks are mainly divided into three products (microwave atomic clocks, optical atomic clocks) and three regions (North America, Europe, Asia-Pacific).

Among them, the main players in North America have microwave atomic clocks: Microsemi (USA), AOSense (USA), Symmetricom (USA), Stanford Research Systems, Inc. (USA), Frequency Electronics, Inc (USA), and NIST (USA). And the North American Optical Atomic Clock: NIST (USA), JILA (USA), UA (USA).

And the main players in European optical atomic clocks: PTB (Germany), Max Planck Institute (Germany), INRiM (Italian), SYRTE (France).

Finally, the main players in Asia Pacific, with microwave atomic clocks: Elecspan (China), Xhtime (China), Sync-tech (China). There are also major players in optical atomic clocks in Asia: NIM(China), NTSC (China), WIPM (China), SICM (China), KRISS (South Korea), Tokyo University (Japan), NMIJ (Japan), NICT (Japan), UWA (Australia). And Zhongweidaxin (China), a major player in molecular clocks in Asia.
