The impact of quantum technology extends beyond computing power. Sensing refers to the process of collecting digital information from our environment. Quantum properties measured at the atomic level, unlike classical properties such as temperature and pressure, form the basis of new ultra-precise sensors.
Quantum physics already has applications in devices like atomic clocks, magnetic resonance imaging, and electron microscopes. Autonomous cars sense their environment with 3-D laser scanning, and aircraft use gyroscopes to determine their orientation in the sky. While quantum technologies are part of our daily lives, their potential to do more is unprecedented.
It’s important to recognize and appreciate how far science has come. Just 40 years ago these technologies only existed on a blackboard.
Quantum sensing is shifting from being a capability few know about to being in daily use everywhere. The impact of quantum sensing will impact many industries with applications we haven't yet realized, but are already developing. While many innovations are currently limited to proof-of-concept demonstrations, we’re on the cusp of experiencing widespread implementations.
