In the “Cluster4Future” QSens of the Universities of Stuttgart and Ulm, scientists, companies and start-ups are researching quantum sensors with a wide range of potential applications. The Federal Ministry of Education and Research is funding QSens for a further three years as part of “Clusters4Future”.

A breakthrough in quantum technology research could help realise a new generation of precise quantum sensors that can operate at room temperature. The research—carried out by an international team of researchers from the University of Glasgow, Imperial College London, and UNSW Sydney—shows how the quantum states of molecules can be controlled and sensitively detected under ambient conditions.

QuantX Labs, an Australian medium-sized company proudly announces the landmark first sales of its state-of-the-art optical atomic clocks. The company recently signed two contracts with Commonwealth of Australia represented by Department of Defence totalling over $2.7 million.

Mesa Quantum, an innovative quantum sensing company, announced an oversubscribed seed funding of $3.7M led by J2 Ventures, a Boston-based fund focused on dual-use technologies, with participation from SOSV.

Atomic clocks have been used for decades – but now, even greater precision has become possible: TU Wien (Vienna) and JILA/NIST are presenting the world's first nuclear clock.

Researchers from the California NanoSystems Institute at UCLA and their colleagues have received a one-year, $1 million grant as part of a new National Science Foundation program aimed at accelerating the development and commercialization of quantum technologies for the benefit of society.

A team led by Stevens physics professor Igor Pikovski has just outlined how to detect single gravitons, thought to be the quantum building blocks of gravity — and making that experiment real should be possible with quantum technology, they suggest, in the near future.

Mesa Quantum announces it has been selected by SpaceWERX for a Direct-to Phase II Small Business Innovation Research (SBIR) grant in the amount of $1.9M focused on miniaturized atomic clocks for alternative Positioning, Navigation, & Timing (PNT) to address the most pressing challenges in the Department of the Air Force (DAF).

SandboxAQ today announced it was awarded a SBIR Phase 2B Tactical Funding Increase (TACFI) by the U.S. Air Force (USAF) to further develop its dual-use AQNav magnetic navigation (MagNav) system. The funding increase will enable SandboxAQ and collaboration partner AFWERX to explore additional configurations of the core AQNav architecture, including a pod-based attachment, for deployment on a wider range of aircraft platforms, including unmanned aerial systems.

A research team led by Prof PENG Xinhua and Associate Prof. JIANG Min from the University of Science and Technology of China (USTC) of the Chinese Academy of Sciences (CAS) has discovered the Fano resonance interference effect between mixed atomic spins. They proposed a novel magnetic noise suppression technique, reducing magnetic noise interference by at least two orders of magnitude. The study was published in Physical Review Letters.
