Quantum sensors promise to unlock new applications through dramatically increased sensitivity. Assessing the quantum sensor market, technologies and players, this report draws on interviews with technology developers and end users to cover 17 quantum sensing technology areas including multiple types of atomic clocks and magnetic field sensors. Applications of quantum sensors in electric vehicles, GPS denied navigation, medical imaging, and quantum computing are comprehensively explored, with the quantum sensor market forecast reach US$7.1bn by 2044.
Quantum sensors use quantum phenomena to enable highly sensitive measurements of many physical properties. These include time (atomic clocks), magnetic field and current, gravity, angular motion, single-photons and more. Superior sensitivity relative to their classical counterparts means that quantum sensors are attracting interest for applications including within electric and autonomous vehicles, brain scanners, quantum computers, underground mapping equipment, satellites and even consumer electronics. Furthermore, growing hype around other quantum technologies such as computing and communication assists in driving interest and investment into the quantum sensor space.
Wide-ranging technologies and applications
Given the diversity of technologies and target applications, there is significant variation of technology readiness level (TRL) and addressable market size across the quantum sensor space. For example, millions of chip-scale tunnelling magneto resistance (TMR) sensors have been sold into the automotive sector for remote current sensing, whilst biomagnetic imaging with optically pumped magnetometers is still at a very early stage. Similarly, bench-top sized atomic clocks have been used for years for research and accurate time tracking, whilst chip-scale devices have yet to become mainstream. Through conversations with both research centres and technology developers, this report assesses the technical and commercial readiness level of each underlying quantum sensing technology and provides a roadmap for future development.
Each quantum sensing technology is analysed in turn, discussing the fundamental operating principles, miniaturisation and manufacturing challenges, competitive landscape, and industry players. The report covers atomic clocks, quantum magnetic field sensors, quantum gyroscopes, quantum gravimeters and quantum image sensors. Each quantum sensor category is assessed using SWOT analyses and technical benchmarking tables. Applications explored include timing and inertial navigation, remote current sensing, biomagnetic imaging, underground asset mapping and quantum computing read-out.
