“Quantum Diamond Sensors”
In recent years, optically probed nitrogen-vacancy (NV) quantum defects in diamond have become a leading modality for magnetic, electrical, and temperature sensing at short length scales (nanometers to millimeters) under ambient conditions. This technology has wide-ranging application across the physical and life sciences - from NMR spectroscopy at the scale of individual cells to improved biomedical diagnostics to the search for dark matter. I will provide an overview of quantum diamond sensors and their diverse applications.

Very interesting and well presented. Thank you

The quantum world is where sensors need to be. Great talk and very informative.

Growing up I always said to myself that I shouldn't touch quantum things with a 3 meter pole. After this presentation I realised that I shouldn't touch it with a 3 meter pole that someone else is holding.

But QM is beautiful

Learn it. Earn it. Don’t adopt another‘s perspective.
