Quantum Sensing
The field of quantum sensing is built around the idea of using quantum systems to measure physical quantities, such as electric and magnetic fields, temperature and pressure, with resolutions and sensitivities beyond those achievable by classical sensors. Beyond fundamental demonstrations, practical quantum sensing technologies require fast measurements with high signal-to-noise ratio of what...
Quantum sensors leverage the unique quantum mechanical properties of light and matter to achieve unprecedented levels of sensitivity and accuracy in measurements of a wide variety of physical quantities. Several different technological platforms of quantum sensors are now commercially available and have applications across diverse industries including healthcare, environmental monitoring,...
Quantum sensing is an emerging approach for probing fundamental physics. In this talk, geared towards non-experts, I will explore the prospects of applying quantum sensing techniques to the study of antimatter.
The ALPHA experiment at CERN in Geneva recently observed the gravitational free-fall of antihydrogen—an atom composed of antimatter. To significantly improve the precision of...
