Session Information

This session explores quantum sensing assisted by quantum information processing techeniques, with particular emphasis on quantum-enabled measurement protocols and architectures. By incorporating quantum information processing primitives and methodologies, such as entanglement distribution, quantum memory, and quantum simulation, it provides new opportunities for enhancing measurement performance and enabling novel sensing paradigms.
Topics of interest include quantum memory–assisted measurement, entanglement- and squeezing-enhanced sensing, distributed and networked quantum measurement, quantum sensor networks, and measurement protocols inspired by quantum information science.
Relevant physical systems include atomic, optical, solid-state, and hybrid quantum platforms, including representative realizations based on of light-matter interactions. Both theoretical and experimental contributions are welcome, including studies on measurement protocols, noise and decoherence, and sensing architectures and strategies driven by quantum information.
