(a) Schematic of an entanglement-enhanced Mach-Zehnder Interferometer, with equal photon number inputs |𝑛⟩ in each port creating a Holland-Burnett state inside the interferometer. The bottom branch accumulates an unknown phase 𝜙 while the top branch includes a controllable element 𝜃𝑓𝑒𝑒𝑑𝑏𝑎𝑐𝑘 that can ensure an optimal measurement. (b) Simplified schematic for modeling. The state experiences loss (red) both inside the interferometer (𝜂1 and 𝜂2) and in the number-resolving detectors (𝜂𝑑). The internal loss mode 𝐿1 with loss 1−𝜂1 is grouped into other losses for simplified analysis.

Research into quantum engineering may provide a number of significant advancements in sensor technology, but optical loss and signal noise have—until recently—held these applications back. In "Realistic model of entanglement-enhanced sensing in optical fibers" published in Optics Express earlier this year, the Optics and Photonics Research Group at CU Boulder and their partners predict and demonstrate meaningful advances in fiber-based, quantum-enhanced remote sensing and probing of photosensitive materials.

  STMicro Unveils 6-axis IMU with Embedded Sensor Fusion and AI Among the most fundamental trends in the consumer electronics industry today is the proliferation of sensors . For applications such the Internet of Things (IoT), wearables, and AR/VR, sensing has been a core technology. As devices become embedded with more and more sensors , system developers face about how to best handle and fuse that data into a useful format. To address this issue,  STMicroelectronics (ST) has recently released  a new 6-axis IMU which includes a number of integrated features such as sensor fusion blocks and Machine Learning (ML) cores.   1st Editional of International Research Awards on Sensing Technology | 23-24 Jan 2023 | India Abstract Submission:  https://x-i.me/gaycon Award Nomination:  https://x-i.me/gaynom Member Nomination:  https://x-i.me/gaymem Visit:http://sensors-conferences.sciencefather.com/ For Enquiries: sensors@sciencefather.com

Temperature Sensors

Image
  Temperature Sensors: A temperature sensor is an electronic device that measures the temperature of its environment and converts the input data into electronic data to record, monitor, or signal temperature changes. There are many different types of temperature sensors. Some temperature sensors require   direct contact   with the physical object that is being monitored (contact temperature sensors), while others indirectly measure the temperature of an object (non-contact temperature sensors).   Non-contact temperature sensors are usually infrared (IR) sensors. They remotely detect the IR energy emitted by an object and send a signal to a calibrated electronic circuit that determines the object's temperature. Among the contact temperature sensors are  thermocouples and thermistors . A thermocouple is comprised of two conductors, each made of a different type of metal, that  are joined at an end  to ...

  What are Sensors, Detectors, and Transducers? Sensor/Detectors/Transducers are electrical, opto-electrical , or electronic devices composed of specialty electronics or otherwise sensitive materials , for determining if there is a presence of a particular entity or function. Many types of sensors , detectors, and transducers are available including those for detecting a physical presence such as flame , metals , leaks , levels, or gas and chemicals , among others. Some are designed to sense physical properties such as temperature, pressure, or radiation , while others can detect motion or proximity . They operate in a variety of manners depending on the application and may include electromagnetic fields, or optics, among others. Many applications over a wide range of industries use sensors, detectors, and transducers of many kinds to test, measure, and control various processes and machine functions. With the advent of the  Internet of Things (IoT) , the need for sensors...
