“In terms of its measurement accuracy, the Bosch sensor prototype is the smallest currently available – about the size of a cell phone”, according to the company, which was started by Bosch in 2022.
“Our goal is to miniaturise quantum sensors to the point where they can be integrated onto a chip,” said company head of quantum sensor commercialisation Katrin Kobe.
Because they are linked to quantum effects, quantum sensors have the potential to be absolutely accurate, and, if they can be made to work, could at least offer more accuracy than has been seen before.
