Connected Ecosystems: Quantum Sensing

Digital Catapult, in partnership with the Institute of Physics quantum Business Innovation and Growth (qBIG) group, will be hosting a Connected Ecosystems event that will provide an introduction to quantum sensing technologies, including example use-cases and a discussion about the UK quantum ecosystem.

Speakers from industry and academia will be sharing their insights around the opportunities for quantum sensing deployment, current research and development – in particular with regards to gravity gradient and levitated sensing – and a global overview of companies working in the area. A panel discussion will focus on challenges and opportunities with regards to adoption, and there will also be tours of Digital Catapult’s labs, which will include a demonstration of quantum magnetometry, and networking opportunities.

We invite those working in quantum technology, together with businesses looking to learn more about quantum sensing, to attend, as it will be an excellent opportunity to gain insights about the technologies, in addition to joining discussions on potential applications and future directions.
