Hamamatsu: Quantum Sensors

Please join us on Thursday, March 25 at the Princeton Public Library to hear from Hamamatsu as we continue to explore all things quantum!

This month we'll switch gears from hot startups to feature Hamamatsu, a global leader in photonics. They will explain how quantum sensors work and describe their new quantum magnetometer, a device that measures magnetic fields with extraordinary sensitivity at room temperature. Magnetometers are used in multiple applications, including biomedical.

Quantum sensors in general measure physical quantities with unprecedented precision and sensitivity beyond what can be done with classical devices. In addition to magnetometers that measure magnetic fields, other quantum sensors measure images, gravity, time, acceleration, temperature and other properties. This leads to exciting new applications such as GPS-free navigation, advanced medical imaging and under ground analysis to identify faults and locate minerals, oil, and buried objects.

And while quantum computers garner most of the attention, quantum sensors are more commercially advanced! So it's time we examine this important segment in more detail.
