Abstract: In the new century, quantum technology has developed rapidly and has been applied in many fields. As an important aspect of the aerospace science, metrology and measuring science is a field which is influenced by the quantum technology dramatically. The new generation of the International System of Units will be redefined on the basis of the quantum theory. More and more new sensing techniques are developed taking into account quantum principles. In this paper, the influence of quantum technology on metrology and measuring science is introduced.

Key words: Quantum technology, Metrology, Sensor
