Ben King didn’t set out to create a long-sought after material to be used in quantum sensing devices, but life, like quantum science, can be weird. King, a professor in chemistry at the University of ...

Over the past decades, physicists and quantum engineers introduced a wide range of systems that perform desired functions leveraging quantum mechanical effects. These include so-called quantum sensors ...

A special class of sensors leverages quantum properties to measure tiny signals at levels that would be impossible using classical sensors alone. Such quantum sensors are currently being used to study ...

Quantum sensors leverage quantum phenomena to offer dramatically increased sensitivity compared to traditional sensors. The growing suite of quantum sensors available today opens a diverse range of ...

Putting hypersensitive quantum sensors in a living cell is a promising path for tracking cell growth and diagnosing diseases -- even cancers -- in their early stages. Many of the best, most powerful ...

Tohoku University researchers have found a way to make quantum sensors more sensitive by connecting superconducting qubits in optimized network patterns. These networks amplify faint signals possibly ...

Quantum sensors offer dramatically increased sensitivity compared to their classical incumbents or even enable new sensing capabilities altogether. Multiple industries are expected to benefit from ...

We’re probably all familiar with the Hall Effect, at least to the extent that it can be used to make solid-state sensors for magnetic fields. It’s a cool bit of applied physics, but there are other ...

Quantum sensing has long promised exquisite sensitivity, but in the real world, environmental noise usually buries the very signals researchers want to see. A new experiment using just three trapped ...

At first glance, biology and quantum technology seem incompatible. Living systems operate in warm, noisy environments full of constant motion—while quantum technology often requires extreme isolation ...
