Quantum sensors use atoms, electrons and light as ultra‑steady rulers – detecting faint motion, magnetism and gravity for navigation, medicine and science

Quantum computers get a lot of attention, even though they are not ready for prime time, but quantum sensors are already doing useful work. These sensors measure fields, forces and motion so small ...
