Quantum Sensing and Information
Quantum Systems Put to Work
Our group develops novel quantum sensors — exploiting the extreme sensitivity of quantum systems to their surroundings. We are advancing spin-based magnetometers with wide applications including serving as chemical sensors by capturing NMR and EPR signals from nearby molecules. Our work spans new protocols to boost sensitivity, strategies to stabilize sensors over long periods, and the design of novel quantum sensor materials. A central theme is accessibility: creating portable devices that remain robust in real-world settings while preserving sensitivity to the signals that matter most.

Sensing with Hyperpolarized Spins
Prethermal states provide a powerful platform for quantum sensing. When exposed to weak fields, they encode a direct imprint of the perturbation, enabling precise their detection. These prethermal sensors combine excellent sensitivity with remarkable resilience to disorder.

Molecules for Quantum Sensing
Molecular systems hosting triplet electrons offer powerful platforms for quantum sensing, as synthetic control enables precise tuning of sensor placement, geometry, and topology. Chemical design further allows optimization of quantum sensor performance. Recent efforts have focused on polyaromatic molecules and their derivatives.
