Event Durham

Join us at Durham University for a three-day international workshop exploring the next generation of quantum-enhanced sensing and metrology.

Quantum sensors based on uncorrelated particles currently deliver extraordinary accuracy, yet unlocking the next frontier of sensitivity means pushing beyond the Standard Quantum Limit. This challenge demands the scalable control and detection of multi-particle quantum states.

The goal of this workshop is therefore to unite experts across three important frontiers: translating quantum sensors into practical technologies, developing theoretical frameworks and protocols for quantum-enhanced metrology, and pioneering the quantum control, detection, and entanglement necessary to exploit quantum effects for enhanced precision. Organised by the UK-Canada QuSAM collaboration, the meeting provides a platform for the wider quantum-technologies community to share recent results and accelerate the development of next-generation sensors.

Location:  The Ogden Centre for Fundamental Physics, Durham University South Road, Durham, DH1 3LE

Dates:

• Monday 14 September 2026 – Closed sessions for the UK-Canada QuSAM collaboration

• Tuesday 15 – Thursday 17 September 2026 – Scientific Workshop: New Frontiers in Quantum‑Enhanced Sensing and Metrology

Present your research

The workshop will have a number of contributed talks from participants as well as a poster session. Researchers interested in presenting their research are invited to submit a title and abstract.
