Optimising Quantum Sensor Components

Quantum technology is a new technological paradigm. Specifically, quantum sensing promises to revolutionize important technologic parameters, like sensitivity or specificity. It’s every day applicability is significantly hampered by technical obstacles such as the need for exotic operation conditions or the use of hard to integrate materials for sensing function. Hence, there is a pressing need for the invention of practical sensor systems as well as their integration into a useable periphery. This goal can be achieved by using dopants in wide band gap semiconductors which allow for room temperature operation and do have the potential to interface with common control environments. The present paper exemplifies the development process for a magnetic field quantum sensor based on dopants in diamond.
