Sensing gravity, the quantum way

08 Dec 2021
Taken from the December 2021 issue of Physics World.

Devices that exploit the extreme sensitivity of quantum states are making their way out of the lab and into everything from construction and healthcare to seismology. Michael Allen learns more about the technology that goes into building a quantum gravity sensor, and its multitude of uses in research and industry
