Yeah.
Deep PrasadGUEST
88:26
It's app- applications of quantum sensing.
Jesse MichelsHOST
88:29
Hmm.
Deep PrasadGUEST
88:29
Um, I think quantum computing will absolutely disrupt quantum sensing in the best way possible.
Jesse MichelsHOST
88:35
Explain what quantum sensing is and how it'll do that.
Deep PrasadGUEST
88:39
So just like qu- quantum computers, quantum sensing leverages quantum mechanics to do the underlying signal processing.
Deep PrasadGUEST
88:45
Um, rather than regular digital signal processing, um, you basically have the ability to detect quantum particles and quantum fluctuations, uh, at the individual level.
Deep PrasadGUEST
88:58
So, uh, the beautiful thing with quantum sensing is that what we could eventually have using, let's say Wigner tomography, is you could presumably have a quantum gravimeter where there's this super interesting scaling law with quantum gravimeters where it, um, the resolution increases two to the N for every qubit.
speaker_4HOST
11:01
Oh, wow.
speaker_2HOST
11:01
Understanding how matter organizes itself under these impossible conditions provides the fundamental blueprint for next generation quantum sensors.
speaker_4HOST
11:10
Which would be revolutionary for things like navigation or, I don't know, mapping underground resources or even medical imaging.
speaker_2HOST
11:17
Oh, absolutely.
Celeste ChamberlainGUEST
13:56
Things that can increase the possibilities into the millions, it can look at instantly, find the best route, not the best route, but the most optimal route.
Celeste ChamberlainGUEST
14:06
And lastly, quantum sensing.
Celeste ChamberlainGUEST
14:08
And this is one where I want you to log in.
Celeste ChamberlainGUEST
14:11
Because today, quantum sensors can see through objects and walls or skulls.

Quantum is everywhere, but we don't see it.
Jordan MillerMODERATOR
19:36
or at least not at the consumer level, where we may not even recognize that we're seeing it.
Jordan MillerMODERATOR
19:40
It's in headlines, tech conversations, you're hearing about it, you're curious about it, sometimes you'll find yourself going down a rabbit hole trying to understand what the difference between quantum mechanics is versus quantum sensing versus quantum entanglement.
Jordan MillerMODERATOR
19:59
But there are many different ways that we can learn about it.
Tim RenierHOST
10:29
We are not alone.
Tim RenierHOST
10:31
Our third story actually involves an anti-space concept, but it pulls in another exciting topic, namely quantum sensing.
Jen DeMarcoHOST
10:38
I can't wait to hear what this is about.
Tim RenierHOST
10:40
Okay, here goes.
Tim RenierHOST
10:41
You know how ubiquitous GPS is and how dependent many of us have become on using it, including the military.
Tim RenierHOST
10:48
But we also know that it can be jammed and spoofed, which can cause real problems, especially for the defense industry.
Tim RenierHOST
10:55
Well, the Defense Innovation Unit has launched a prototype program with Honeywell Aerospace to use quantum sensing to safely and accurately navigate vast stretches of the ocean without the use of satellite GPS systems.
Jen DeMarcoHOST
11:07
Quantum sensing, you say, but how does it work?
