What is it?
Quantum sensors are highly sensitive and precise measurement devices that exploit quantum phenomena, such as entanglement, superposition, and interference, to detect and measure physical quantities with unprecedented accuracy. These sensors can measure various parameters, including magnetic fields, electric fields, gravity, temperature, and pressure, with far greater sensitivity than traditional sensors.
Why is it important?
Quantum sensors can provide measurements with unprecedented accuracy, enabling the detection of previously unmeasurable phenomena and enhancing the performance of existing sensing technologies. The enhanced sensitivity of quantum sensors can lead to new insights in various fields, such as fundamental physics, materials science, and biology.
What industries will it impact?
Healthcare and medical imaging, Aerospace and defense, Automotive, Oil and gas exploration, Telecommunications, Environmental monitoring: Quantum sensors can be used to monitor environmental parameters, such as air and water quality, with unprecedented sensitivity and accuracy.
