Normating colour-centre-based quantum sensing technology towards industrial application and standards

The overall objective of the project is to develop traceable measurement and characterisation methods for quantum sensing technologies necessary to support standardisation in devices based on colour centres in diamond. 

This project aims to build on the effort started with JRP 20IND05 QADeT to develop standardized techniques for the creation and characterization of quantum sensors based on Nitrogen-Vacancy (NV) centers in diamond (the highest TRL solid state atomic-scale sensor) for nano-scale, high sensitivity sensing of EM fields, temperature or dynamic quantities (e.g. pressure, etc.), in synergy with the needs by CEN-CLC FGQT and JTC-22. The long term goal is to disseminate these sensors into industry and market, fostering a fast uptake of novel solutions, including color centers in other bulk or 2-D semiconductor materials (e.g. Si, SiC, hBN, InP).
