Distinguished Lecture: Quantum Sensing - Dr Cathy Foley

Everyone has been talking about quantum computers in recent times but quantum sensing is also an application of quantum physics that enables new opportunities in a wide range of areas from space communications, magnetoencephalography of the brain, lab-on-a-chip medical diagnostics, navigation in GPS-denied environments and mineral exploration. This talk will explain what quantum sensing is and what it offers that is different from classical sensors. Dr Cathy Foley will focus on superconducting devices based on Josephson Junctions, an amazing concept that has been realised in many superconducting devices called SQUIDs, Superconducting Quantum Interference Devices. She will cover how these early quantum sensors have been commercialised and look at what other quantum sensors are on the horizon.
