A new era of measurement begins.
What is quantum sensing?
Quantum sensing enables ultra-precise measurement using quantum principles. From more accurate MRI machines to satellite-free navigation to sensors that monitor climate change, quantum sensing is ushering in a new era of measurement. The first wave of sensing applications is already here and ready for real-world use. Further innovations are poised to enter the market soon.
How QDNL supports innovation in quantum sensing
To advance new quantum sensing applications, QDNL is fostering an ecosystem of technology developers and end-users. By collaborating and sharing knowledge, we believe the Netherlands is poised to create applications while improving lab-validated technology. We support the future of quantum sensing innovation through open calls, mentorship programmes, research support, and bringing research and industry together to create innovative new applications.
As the technology continues to advance, QDNL will establish public-private partnerships to accelerate industrialisation. These partnerships can bring quantum sensing applications to market quickly and efficiently. With continued investment and collaboration, we can fully realise quantum sensing's potential and drive transformative impact across numerous industries and research areas.
