Quantum sensing with hot vapors - macQsimal symposium

21st June 2022

There are multiple ways to disseminate research results. Although the scientific paper is the route par excellence, since it guarantees editorial and peer reviews, as well as a specific scientific community of readers and the inclusion of the manuscript in databases, there are other, well recognised ways to increase the visibility of the research and share the knowledge. One such dissemination means is a scientific conference.

To share with you project results the macQsimal management and communication teams organised “Quantum sensing with hot vapors” symposium which attracted participants from various fields, including academia, research organisations and industry. For those that were not able to join the event, we recorded all sessions which are available below and also on our YouTube channel.

The talks covered a wide spectrum of topics related to quantum sensing technologies, including atomic vapor cells and five key applications addressed by the macQsimal project:
