AMA Innovation Award
Quantum Technologies wins innovation and special prize
On May 8, 2023, the AMA Association for Sensors and Measurement (AMA) presented the AMA Innovation Award to the winning team from Quantum Technologies for an all-optical quantum magnetometer.
The AMA Innovation Award 2023 was presented to the Quantum Technologies development team from Leipzig (consisting of Robert Staacke, Lutz Langguth, Romy Müller and Dominik Rajsp) at the SMSI 2023 - Sensor and Measurement Science International Conference - in Nuremberg. The team received the prize money of 10,000 euros and the special 'Young Company' award.
The 'QT-RH105' from Quantum Technologies is a fiber-coupled magnetic field sensor that measures the magnetic field strength with purely optical precision. This quantum sensor uses the magnetic field dependence of the spin states of nitrogen vacancies, so-called NV centers, in diamond and their fluorescence. The sensor head is no thicker than a human hair, chemically inert, non-magnetic, non-conductive and therefore galvanically isolated. Compared to conventional semiconductor sensors, this opens up completely new areas of application in magnetic field sensor technology.
"We congratulate the development team at Quantum Technologies and are delighted that once again a young company has received both the AMA Innovation Award and a special prize. The measuring method is designed in such a way that the sensor does not require the use of microwaves. Its extreme detection sensitivity and wide detection range make it suitable for a wide range of applications," says Professor Andreas Schütze, from Saarland University and AMA jury chairman, explaining this year's decision.
Applications for the Innovation Award 2024
Application forms for the AMA Innovation Award 2024 will be available from the end of October 2023. Individuals or development teams from companies and institutes can apply. Further information at: http://www.ama-sensorik.de.
