Up to 91 atoms form a sensor network that enables even more precise measurements of physical phenomena thanks to a new method. Credit: Helene Hainzer “Here, the key idea is that we do not just use a single sensor, but a network of up to 91 sensors, each consisting of a singleatom,...
Time 9:30 am - 1:30 pm Price Free What is quantum sensing and how can it help you? Quantum sensing is the application ofquantum technologythat allows physical phenomena to be measured with unprecedentedprecision,sensitivityandresolution. These sensors can overcome the limits of classic devices and...
aligned with the sensor axis. But for some applications, such as mapping out the connections between neurons by measuring the exact direction of each firing impulse, it would be useful to measure the sideways component of
By using the nanocavity to improve the brightness of these ytterbium atoms, we have now been able to identify and investigate their properties at the single atom level. We can precisely control the quantum state of the single atoms and measure them with high fidelity – both prerequisites for ...

With this capability, the experiment can then measure electric fields very precisely. Read more Hunting dark matter with quantum sensors, working abroad brings career advantages “Our measurements surpass classical limits of sensitivity to electric fields (and displacements of the crystal),” Gilmore ...
Quantum computers could be used to improve the secure sharing of information. Or to improve radars and their ability to detect missiles and aircraft. Another area where quantum computing is expected to help is the environment and keeping water clean with chemical sensors.4 ...
In 2019, IBM, in collaboration with The Weather Company, unveiled the Global High-Resolution Atmospheric Forecasting System (GRAF) that uses IBM supercomputers to process data from millions of sensors around the world. When quantum computing becomes feasible, GRAF-like systems will be able to analyz...
We stress that these phenomena are completely distinct. For EP sensors, it is the frequency of a resonance that exhibits a square root dependence, and not the SNR of a specific measurement (or other metric that also quantifies fluctuations). Further, EP sensing is based on operating near a...
Major advances in the precision of magnetic measurements bring us closer to quantum detection of individual spins at the single-atom level. On the quest for reducing both classical and quantum measurement noise, it is intriguing to look forward and searc
