Description
Quantum sensing" describes the use of a quantum system, quantum properties or quantum phenomena to perform a measurement of a physical quantity.
More recently, quantum sensing has become a distinct and rapidly growing branch of research within the area of quantum science and technology, with the most common platforms being spin qubits, trapped ions and flux qubits.
Quantum sensors can surpass the sensitivity of classical devices, and their ultimate performance is studied in quantum metrology. In addition, quantum sensors can be used to characterize the noise created by their environment, and thus guide the development of error correction strategies.
In these lectures, I will provide an introduction to the basic principles, methods and concepts of quantum sensing and metrology.
