AMADEUS

​Quantum sensing exploits the coherent superposition of quantum states to perform measurements with unprecedented sensitivity. The nitrogen-vacancy centre in diamond is an excellent candidate to realise the ideal quantum sensor. This is a specific defect in diamond in which two adjacent carbon atoms are replaced by a nitrogen atom and a vacancy. The EU-funded AMADEUS project comprises an industry-oriented consortium aiming to commercialise such types of quantum sensors. The consortium is building on the successful prototype sensors developed by another ongoing project. AMADEUS aims to raise the technology readiness level (TRL) to 7, focusing on four applications.
