A team from the University of Sydney (USyd), alongside Dartmouth College and Johns Hopkins Applied Physics Laboratory in the US, has announced solving a common problem in quantum sensing devices, effectively developing a method to block background "chatter".
According to the university, the quantum control techniques enable new ultra-sensitive sensors that can identify tiny signals while rejecting background noise down to theoretical limits.
Led by professor Michael J Biercuk, who is also the chief investigator at the ARC Centre of Excellence for Engineered Quantum Systems, the team has managed to "trick" devices that are too sensitive to block out background noise.
