Speaker Details - Prof. Jens Anders

Quantum sensing based on solid-state defects holds immense promise for applications ranging from biomedical diagnostics to precision navigation. However, unlocking their full potential requires scalable integration strategies that bridge the gap between laboratory demonstrations and real-world deployment. In this keynote, we will explore cutting-edge approaches to implementing scalable, high-performance quantum sensors through advanced fabrication, control, and readout techniques. By addressing key challenges in material engineering and system integration, this talk will highlight pathways to harnessing quantum advantages in practical and industrial applications.
