Quantum Sensing for Position, Navigation, and Timing (PNT)
The Use Cases and Standards & Performance Metrics TACs are conducting a study on Quantum Sensing for PNT. As part of the study, the TACs held a workshop earlier this month. Focusing on PNT for synchronization and navigation in GPS-denied or unreliable areas, the workshop brought together experts in quantum sensing technologies and PNT to share specs, define benchmarking, and identify and prioritize the use cases for quantum sensors in non-defense-related PNT applications. The TACs plan to release a report to QED-C members later this year summarizing the results of the study.
Interested to hear what the experts had to say? A recording is now available to QED-C members.
Register for the upcoming summer lecture series on quantum sensors covering Rydberg receivers, atomic clocks, inertial sensors and atomic magnetometers
Join fellow QED-C members in Montréal for our first plenary meeting outside of the U.S.! This hybrid event features talks and panels on topics like “Trends in investment, commercialization and ecosystems” and “Engineering scalable, deployable and cost-effective quantum systems”. Attendees will have opportunities to learn from and share insights with one another during interactive breakout sessions, which include two hybrid mini-workshops: one on export control and one on standards coordination. There’s ample time for networking as well. A full agenda is available now.
This three-part lecture series, hosted by the Quantum for National Security (Q4NS) TAC, aims to enable someone with an upper-level undergraduate technical background to understand, appreciate, and participate in the strategy discussions related to this type of quantum sensor.
During this lecture, Professor Thomas F. Gallagher will describe what a Rydberg atom is, give some of the early history of the detection of microwave and FIR radiation, and introduce electromagnetically-induced transparency (EIT) and the detection of microwaves using Rydberg EIT.
Interested in a career in quantum information science and technology (QIST) or learning more about this emerging technology? The QED-C Office Hours program offers students the opportunity to meet one-on-one with current practitioners in QIST. Register today for the June session.
Dr. Chris Holloway will introduce the key performance parameters for measuring the quality of a Rydberg receiver and how those performance parameters are weighted for commonly discussed applications. He will also compare Rydberg receiver performance against traditional technologies.
This talk is the second of three lectures introducing Rydberg RF receivers, their applications to national security, and the latest state-of-the-art.
Dive deep into the world of quantum sensing with leading experts in the quantum sensing field. Presenters include representatives from Northrop Grumman, SBQuantum, AOSense, and Castor Optics and the session will be moderated by Mark Wippich of MPW. A recording will be available to the public following the Plenary Meeting.
Assessing the Benefits and Risks of Quantum Computers
May 22 | 2:00pm-3:00pm ET Member event
In a recent webinar, hosted by the Use Cases TAC, guest speaker Travis Scholten, Technical Director at IBM Public Sector/IBM Quantum, explored the potential applications and risks of quantum computers. Travis highlighted two major trends: the development of new approximate methods and the exploration of business-relevant applications. These advancements are shaping the future of practical quantum computing.
Guest speaker Kevin Wolf joined the Quantum Law TAC’s monthly meeting to provide an informative briefing on global export control developments relating to quantum technologies.
The Small Business Innovation Research (SBIR) program for CHIPS for America – CHIPS Metrology is seeking applications from eligible applicants to explore the technical merit or feasibility of an innovative idea or technology to develop a viable product or service that will be introduced to the commercial microelectronics marketplace.
