UK Quantum Technology Hub Sensors and Timing researchers at the Universities of Birmingham, Glasgow, Nottingham, National Physical Laboratory and Imperial College London have been awarded over £4 million in UKRI funding as part of a […]
Quantum sensor for a future navigation system tested aboard Royal Navy ship
A prototype quantum sensor with potential application in GPS-free navigation, built by UK Quantum Technology Hub Sensors and Timing researchers at Imperial College London, has been tested in collaboration with the Royal Navy. The test […]
Quantum technologies summer school in the UK and Canada
An international summer school to train promising early career researchers in quantum technologies has been announced by the UK’s Quantum Technology (QT) Hubs. The network of QT Hubs has been awarded funding to host the […]
Unified Quantification of Quantum Fisher Information in Interferometric Sensing
It is well-known that the precision of a phase measurement with a Mach-Zehnder interferometer employing strong classic light can be greatly enhanced with the addition of weak nonclassical light. In the context of quantifying nonclassicality, […]
Interaction-free, single-pixel quantum imaging with undetected photons
A typical imaging scenario requires three basic ingredients: (1) a light source that emits light, which in turn interacts and scatters off the object of interest; (2) detection of the light being scattered from the […]
A neural network assisted 171Yb+ quantum magnetometer
A versatile magnetometer must deliver a readable response when exposed to target fields in a wide range of parameters. Researchers have experimentally demonstrated that the combination of 171Yb+ atomic sensors with adequately trained neural networks enables […]
Next generation atomic clocks are a step closer to real world applications
Quantum clocks are shrinking, thanks to new technologies developed at the UK Quantum Technology Hub Sensors and Timing. Working in collaboration with and partly funded by the UK’s Defence Science and Technology Laboratory (Dstl), a team of […]
Quantum-inspired approach to increase LiDAR resolution
Researchers have shown that a quantum-inspired technique can be used to perform LiDAR imaging with a much higher depth resolution than is possible with conventional approaches. LiDAR, which uses laser pulses to acquire 3D information […]
Quantum sensor can detect electromagnetic signals of any frequency
Researchers at MIT developed a method to enable quantum sensors to detect any arbitrary frequency, with no loss of their ability to measure nanometer-scale features. Quantum sensors detect the most minute variations in magnetic or […]
Ultrafast Quantum sensing with diamonds
Researchers at University of Tsukuba measured tiny magnetic fields with unprecedented speed. By monitoring spins at Nitrogen-Vacancy (NV) centers along using ultrafast spectroscopy. They hence demonstrated how ultrafast spectroscopy can be used to improve the […]
