Overcoming the limits of conventional sensing with quantum technologies. How to use magnetometers?

Imagine you were able to know exactly what is happening deep inside our bodies, to image brain activity with a precision never known before and determine if someone is developing neurodegenerative or other diseases before the symptoms are shown. Current sensing instruments are not accurate enough to measure very sensitive things, but Quantum sensing could be the solution. Magnetic fields carry important information that can be used to push the boundaries of technology development in biomedicine, geophysics or in space science to name a few. Magnetometers are developed to make that information available to us by using the unique properties of atoms. In medicine, for example, electric currents in the human brain, the heartbeat of the fetus or magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) can be detected and measured using atomic vapor cells. In macQsimal, partners work closely together for the design, development and validation of Compact Optically Pumped Magnetometers (OPM) for low-frequency and radio-frequency magnetic fields to further employ these quantum sensors in biomagnetic and medical applications.
