The three lower and upper contacts trap up to two individual electrons, the spin states of which form the quantum-mechanical information unit. The lateral contacts act as sensors. Disclaimer ...

The era of quantum sensors is steadily moving toward commercialization while startups eye brand-new sensing applications.

To put these specifications in practical terms, such sensitivity could enable improved medical imaging devices that need less intense light to produce clear images, reducing patient exposure to ...

and colleagues develop a humidity sensor using graphene oxide quantum dots (GOQDs) self-assembled on SiO2 microspheres with a fast response time (2.76 ms) and recovery time (12.4 ms).

The group's findings could one day lead to a host of new quantum sensors, from devices that map out the activity of the human brain to others that could help airplanes navigate the globe.

Partners establish commercial quantum dot epitaxial wafer supply chain for AI optical interconnects.
