Experts at the HUN-REN Wigner Research Center for Physics are developing a new generation of quantum microscopes in the framework of a recently launched project.
The research team, led by Ádám Gali, is able to measure magnetic, electrical or mechanical fields or temperature with high spatial resolution using the special properties of the diamond nitrogen-vacancy center.
The aim is to create a device that physicists, chemists, biologists and engineers can use as a quantum sensor to test and qualify different materials with unprecedented spatial resolution and sensitivity.
The project plans to implement specific measurement methods with the quantum microscope, which, to the best of their knowledge, would offer a unique tool for the technology market, as no quantum sensor with such components exists yet.
Also unique in Europe is the measurement technique based on a special nitrogen-vacancy center that is planned to be used in the quantum microscope.
A major advantage of this instrument is that it can be operated at room temperature, does not require special conditions and consumes little energy.
HUN-REN Wigner Research Center for Physics recalls that another recently launched project, led by Orsolya Kálmán and Zoltán Zimborás, aims to combine the fields of artificial intelligence (AI) and quantum technology and develop a software package that applies machine learning and other artificial intelligence-based algorithms to make today’s noisy quantum computers more efficient.
In particular, the project aims to develop an artificial intelligence-enhanced quantum gate translator, including a quantum error reduction technique, and to develop quantum machine learning algorithms for experimental and industrial applications, which can be complemented by quantum hardware and the developed translation and error reduction techniques.
Both projects will run until 2026 and are expected to make a major contribution to the development of quantum technologies in Europe and at home, for both academic and industrial users.
