Uncovering potential applications of quantum sensing
Event held on Thursday, February 29, 2024
On February 29, Velocity & TQT jointly hosted the Quantum Sensing Workshop.
8 UW students were invited to the Research Advancement Center (RAC) 1 to hear talks on quantum sensing and perform experiments utilizing Nitrogen Vacancy (NV) centers in diamond.
Michael Grabowecky (Quantum Technology Lab Coordinator, TQT) and Carola Purser (Senior Scientist, QVIL) gave an introduction to NV centers as well as sensing modalities and technologies with NV centers. They further elaborated on the impact of spin-based quantum sensors.
Students also actively engaged in discussions around quantum sensing applications such as tracking wheel motion, imaging fissures in materials and monitoring drug delivery. These applications are particularly relevant as potentially realizable technologies in the near-term as they would impact automating motion, monitoring surroundings and manufacturing, and medicine.
Thank you to our attendees, presenters and organizers. The presentation from the event is available.
