· The company is focused on developing a gravity gradiometer for scanning beneath the earth's surface for utility mapping, smart cities, smart mining, and building information modelling (BIM).
· Its gravity gradiometer has already received significant performance acclaim, demonstrated within a paper published in Nature (https://doi.org/10.1038/s41586-021-04315-3), and has attracted interest from large industrial end users across many industrial verticals.

· Secured circa.
The funding will be used to develop a commercial demonstrator of the existing research system, perform trials with industrial end users, and build a robust roadmap towards manufacturing and commercialisation.
The quantum gravity gradiometer has the potential to transform underground mapping for several industries such as utility mapping for smart cities and smart mining as it can be used in real-time monitoring and is a direct measurement. The applications and cost benefits of the technology are vast including:
· Mapping of as-built utility infrastructure.
· Improved prediction and monitoring of natural subsidence from climate change or seismic activity.
· Discovery of hidden natural resources.
· Understanding archaeological mysteries without damaging excavation.
· Reduce the risk of unforeseen ground conditions in the construction sector including rail and road projects.
Following the investment, Quantum Exponential will hold 153,061 ordinary B shares in Delta g representing approximately 7.8% of Delta g's enlarged issued share capital on a fully diluted basis.
Commenting on its investment, CEO of Quantum Exponential Group, Steve Metcalfe said:
"Jeremy Hunt's spring budget highlighted the
"Delta g's use of quantum technology to measure gravity gradients has the potential to revolutionise industries such as construction and infrastructure and significantly improve mapping of what happens underground. We are proud to support Delta g in its mission to develop a commercial demonstrator of the existing research system and to develop a gravity gradiometer. We are particularly pleased to note that Delta g's technology has also received a circa.
"At Quantum Exponential, we are committed to investing in the most promising early-stage global quantum technology companies, and Delta g is an excellent addition to our portfolio. We look forward to working closely with the team at Delta g and supporting them as they continue to develop its technology. This investment brings our portfolio to seven companies to date and further cements our position as a leader in the quantum technology investment sector. We remain focused on identifying new opportunities in this rapidly evolving industry and delivering value to our investors."
Quantum Gravity Sensor
Quantum gravity sensor measures subtle changes in the pulling strength of gravitational fields when a cloud of atoms is dropped. The bigger the object and the greater the difference in density of the object from its surroundings, the stronger the measurable difference in pull. But vibration, instrument tilt and disruption from magnetic and thermal fields have made turning quantum theory into commercial reality challenging. The
