Optica Sensing Congress

Quantum Sensing and Metrology (QSM)

The use of a quantum system to sense a physical quantity using quantized energy levels, quantum coherence and/or quantum entanglement to improve measurements beyond what can be done with a purely classical sensor.

Quantum sensing and metrology utilize the quantum properties of matter (such as quantized transitions in neutral atoms, ions, and spin qubits) or quantum phenomena (including entanglement between different qubits or degrees of freedom) to measure physical quantities with unparalleled sensitivity, precision and accuracy. This meeting aims to cover quantum sensing technologies with real-world applications as well as the development of devices and techniques that will advance sensing performance.

 This includes measuring time using atomic clocks.  In some cases these measurements exploiting entanglement or squeezing achieve measurements beyond the Heisenberg limit.
