Now, scientists are attempting to make a motion sensor so precise it could minimize the nation's reliance on global positioning satellites. Until recently, such a sensor—a thousand times more sensitive than today's navigation-grade devices—would have filled a moving truck. But advancements are dramatically shrinking the size and cost of this technology.

In a new initiative that blends innovation in quantum technologies and artificial intelligence (AI) with clinical applications, the Novo Nordisk Foundation (NNF), together with Cleveland Clinic, has launched the Cleveland Clinic – Denmark: Quantum-AI Biomedical Frontiers Fellowship Program.

he Chicago-based Duality quantum accelerator has accepted its fourth cohort of startups into its program as the quantum revolution arrives in Illinois. The five startups in this cohort are developing products and solutions across the quantum technology landscape that includes quantum computing, sensing, and communication, and will look to evolve their technologies and business practices to succeed in various industries like biomedicine and aerospace.

Researchers from North Carolina State University and the Massachusetts Institute of Technology have designed a protocol for harnessing the power of quantum sensors. The protocol could give sensor designers the ability to fine-tune quantum systems to sense signals of interest, creating sensors that are vastly more sensitive than traditional sensors.

QuantCAD LLC, a physics start-up operating in Iowa City, IA and Chicago, IL, was selected by NASA to advance quantum sensing with a Small Business Innovation Research (SBIR) Phase II contract. NASA plans to use the quantum sensor developed by QuantCAD to investigate the origins of water on exoplanets.

Researchers have developed a new method to significantly enhance quantum technology performance by using the cross-correlation of two noise sources to extend coherence time, improve control fidelity, and increase sensitivity for high-frequency sensing. This innovative strategy addresses key challenges in quantum systems, offering a tenfold increase in stability and paving the way for more reliable and versatile quantum devices.

A research team led by Prof. PENG Xinhua and Associate Prof. JIANG Min from University of Science and Technology China (USTC) of China Academy of Sciences (CAS), has, for the first time, reported the theoretical and experimental demonstration of quantum amplification using dark spins, with the magnetic field magnification exceeding 5,000 times and the single magnetic field measurement accuracy reaching 0.1fT level. The study was published in Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences (PNAS).

PME researchers outlined a new method to build a quantum network that spans the country by using vacuum beam guides, in which qubits can travel thousands of miles inside small vacuum-sealed tubes.
