Quantum sensor
Quantum sensor leverages the principles of quantum mechanics, such as quantum entanglement and superposition, to achieve unprecedented sensitivity and accuracy in measuring physical quantities like magnetic fields, gravity, and time.
Quantum Phenomena
Quantum sensors exploit phenomena like quantum entanglement, superposition, and tunneling to detect minute changes in physical quantities.
Enhanced Sensitivity
These sensors can measure tiny changes in the environment, surpassing the capabilities of traditional sensors.
Applications
Quantum sensors have potential applications in various fields, including medical imaging, navigation, environmental monitoring, and fundamental physics research.
Examples
Some examples of quantum sensors include atomic clocks, magnetometers, and gravitometers.
How they work
Quantum sensors use the properties of atoms or photons to measure physical quantities, such as magnetic fields or gravity.
Quantum bits (qubits)
Quantum sensors use qubits (quantum bits), which can be photons, ions, or neutral atoms, to detect subtle changes in environmental factors like rotation, pressure, gravity, and magnetic or electric fields.
Real-time monitoring
Quantum sensors can perform real-time monitoring, capturing subtle changes immediately.
AI and Quantum Sensing
AI can be used to enhance quantum sensing, enabling breakthrough applications in various industries.
