Event Details

Fundamental properties of quantum mechanics, such as superpositions of states and entanglement, have found their way to useful applications in quantum metrology, helping to unveil the secrets of the early universe, to increase the sensitivity of spectroscopy, and leading to high-precision devices such as new-generation atomic clocks, gravimeters, magnetometers, and accelerometers. This talk will summarize the foundations and recent achievements in quantum metrology, regarding some applications and recent theoretical developments involving quantum sensing of noisy systems.
