Quantum Sensor Development Overcomes Major Obstacle

Researchers from the Niels Bohr Institute have made significant progress in the development of quantum sensors by overcoming a major obstacle in distinguishing signals of interest from various types of noise. Quantum sensors have the potential to revolutionize medical examinations and other fields by detecting extremely small variations in magnetic fields and tissue conductivity. The findings bring quantum sensors closer to practical applications, with potential uses in monitoring the health of unborn children, brain monitoring, and even gravitational wave detection in astrophysics.
