Quantum computing digital chip company SEEQC has been selected by the Department of Energy to design and produce superconducting quantum interference devices (SQUIDs). SQUIDs are extremely sensitive magnetometers used to measure incredibly subtle signals for many applications including for dark matter detection, sensor readout, qubit readout in quantum computing, and medical imaging.

At Analytica in Munich, the Stuttgart-based high-tech start-up Q.ANT is showcasing a compact particle sensor for industrial applications that can be used to monitor these parameters in real time. The patented sensor, which is based on quantum technology, offers real added value for numerous sectors: from additive manufacturing, biotechnology, the ceramics industry, the materials and chemical industry to water treatment, medical technology and cosmetics.

U.S. Naval Research Laboratory (NRL) researchers have developed a patent-pending Continuous 3D-Cooled Atom Beam Interferometer derived from a patented cold and continuous beam of atoms to explore atom-interferometry-based inertial measurement systems as a path to reduce drift in Naval navigation systems.

Adtran today announced that Netnod is leveraging its optical pumping cesium atomic clock technology to bring precise, reliable and assured timing to Sweden’s critical national infrastructure. Protecting the country’s timing services is vital for the nation’s economy, encompassing finance, digital services and next-generation telecoms networks, such as 5G.

Traceable microscopy could improve the reliability of quantum information technologies, biological imaging, and more.

Quantum sensor technology promises even more precise measurements of physical quantities. A team led by Christian Roos at the University of Innsbruck has now compared the signals of up to 91 quantum sensors with each other and thus successfully eliminated the noise caused by interactions with the environment. Correlation spectroscopy can be used to increase the precision of sensor networks.

The high-tech company Q.ANT and Fraunhofer IPA today signed an agreement to establish the Competence Centre Human-Machine-Interface. The aim of the cooperation is to detect finest nerve signals from muscle activity and interpret the resulting information in order to control machines and devices. This could make it possible to intuitively control hand prostheses in the future. The competence centre is based in Stuttgart and brings together around 15 experts from research and industry.

The unique properties of quantum physics could help solve a longstanding problem that prevents microscopes from producing sharper images at the smallest scales, researchers say. The breakthrough, which uses entangled photons to create a new method of correcting for image distortion in microscopes, could lead to improved classical microscope imaging of tissue samples to help advance medical research.
