Helping make quantum technology useful for enterprise, aviation, defense, and R&D | CEO & Founder, Q-CTRL | Professor of Quantum Physics & Quantum Technology | Innovator | Speaker | TEDx | SXSW
As a company leader, to me the greatest compliment comes when someone I admire and respect decides they want to work with you. So it's a great privilege to announce that Aaron Canciani - "The Godfather of Magnav" has just joined Q-CTRL as a Principal Navigation Engineer! Aaron comes to us from a career laying the foundations for magnetic navigation at the United States Air Force, U.S. Air Force Institute of Technology, and most recently Leidos. Now at Q-CTRL he'll be turning that scientific expertise into commercial products deployed in the real world. We're proud of the team we're building and excited to make #quantumtechnology useful in the defense of democracy. Welcome Aaron! https://lnkd.in/gXRypcYT
Pretty cool. Aaron's a great guy. I have also seen that classical magnetometers are now operating the nanotesla range. The next generation is quickly approaching 0.1 nT using thin films and micromachined 3D concentrators along with in-silicon signal processors, thermal regulation and vibration isolation. All driven by AI in robots, drones, cell phone and self-driving cars. Amazing. I remember 10 years ago quantum magnetometers were the only game in town for that level of noise and sensitivity. How fast the game has changed. These are so cheap now, that it becomes feasible to arrange arrays of them to do conformal field measurements local to the platform.
