ETIT-OVE High-Profile Lecture Series: Quantum Inside

This edition of the High-Profile Lecture Series on March 17, 2026 deals with the topic "Quantum Inside: How Lab Experiments Become Daily Products"

Speaker: Dr. André Kretschmann (Bosch)

To overcome the limitations of classical MEMS sensors, quantum technologies offer radically higher precision and sensitivity. Alkali vapor cell gyroscopes use atomic spin precession for highly accurate rotation sensing, while diamond nitrogen-vacancy centers enable ultra‑sensitive and fully vector-resolved magnetic field measurements.

Learn about following topics related to quantum sensing:

Key technologies:

• Alkali vapor cell gyroscopes
• Nitrogen-vacancy centers in diamond as magnetometers

Industrialization challenges:

• Ensuring robustness and reliability
• Miniaturizing systems and reducing power consumption
• Scaling manufacturing to competitive cost structures

Industrial best practice (as performed at Bosch):

• Corporate internal startup driving development and commercialization
• Focus on high‑impact applications

Quantum sensors represent a major leap in sensing performance, and rapid progress is bringing them from laboratory research into real-world products.
