Quantum Sensing
We help you understand and evaluate a new generation of ultra-precise sensors that use quantum effects to measure things like position, magnetism and gravity.
What is quantum sensing?
Quantum effects are extremely sensitive to their surroundings. That is a challenge when building quantum computers, but a big advantage when building sensors.
Quantum sensors can measure tiny changes in magnetic fields, gravity or time with remarkable precision. Potential uses include navigation without GPS, finding underground pipes or minerals, and medical imaging.
Many of these sensors are still emerging. We help you judge which are ready for your needs and how to trial them.
A normal sensor is like hearing a conversation across a room. A quantum sensor is like hearing a pin drop in the next building.
Why this is worth your attention
Navigate without GPS
Quantum sensors could help vehicles, ships and aircraft find their way where satellite signals are blocked or jammed.
See underground
Sensitive gravity and magnetic sensors can detect hidden structures without digging.
Measure more precisely
Higher precision can mean fewer errors, better quality control and new capabilities.

Questions people often ask
Are quantum sensors available now? add
Some are, such as certain atomic clocks and magnetometers. Others are still in development. We help you tell the difference.
Do you sell sensors? add
No. We give independent advice so you can choose freely.
Is this related to quantum computing? add
It uses the same physics but is a separate technology. Sensors are often closer to practical use than quantum computers.
