Quantum Perspectives: Sensing
Ойын-сауық
Quantum sensors allow us to measure with incredible accuracy, precision and selectivity. Future quantum devices that achieve these ultimate sensing qualities by harnessing the complexities of atoms, photons and semiconductors will play a critical role in improving applications such as medical technology, radar, geological exploration, molecular imaging and more.
We need new experimental techniques to build these devices. In this panel discussion, we’ll hear from three leading experts in the Waterloo region who are pushing boundaries to develop new sensing technologies based on quantum mechanics:
Michael Reimer, Assistant Professor at the Institute for Quantum Computing (IQC) and the University of Waterloo’s Department of Electrical & Computer Engineering who is developing highly efficient photon detectors.
Kostadinka Bizheva, Professor at the University of Waterloo’s Department of Physics & Astronomy who is working on new techniques in optical coherence tomography (OCT).
Troy Borneman, Senior Scientist at High Q Technologies who is building sensitive superconducting resonators for medical sensing applications.

(How close are we to human teleportation? Successes in quantum teleportation experiments abound) In fact, a fun 2013 study by physics students at the University of Leicester came up with useful numbers to show how complex it would be to teleport a person, even if we approached it as sending information that is used to re-create the person elsewhere. They reasoned that the transferable data for a human would consist of the DNA pairs that make up genomes in each cell. As such, the total data for each human cell would be approximately 1010 bits (b), while the data for a full human would come in at about 2.6 x 1042 b. Sending this gigantic amount of data would need the kind of computing technology we didn’t invent yet. By 2013 tech standards the students used, transferring data for just one human (at the bandwidth of 29.5 to 30 GHz) would take up to 4.85×1015years, much longer than the age of the universe. "Teleporting humans presents technical and philosophical challenges. A recent experiment achieved tremendous accuracy in quantum teleportation over 27 miles. Human teleportation may be possible with advances in technology to process huge amounts of data." There are two questions: Are quantum computers capable of performing human teleportation? What are the new plans for teleportation? (Please send these questions to engineers and technicians in the field of quantum entanglement and quantum computing)
This is awesome!!!
Quantum entanglement and quantum computing
So whens the teleporter coming?
