The second review meeting of the ARCHIMEDES project took place on 2-3 July 2025 at the Augsburg Innovation Park, Germany, with the participation of Andrejs Cvetkovs, a researcher from the Integrated circuits and systems laboratory of the Institute of Electronics and Computer Science (EDI).
During the Demonstrator Session, the evaluators were shown various achievements of the project partners. One of them is a quantum magnetometer based on nitrogen-vacancy centres. This sensor uses a special type of diamond, which enables precise measurements of the strength and direction of the magnetic field.
Within the ARCHIMEDES project, the quantum sensor has two applications:
- precise measurement of battery current for condition and fault detection;
- ground-based magnetic field navigation.
Quantum sensors also have many important applications in other currently active and emerging future projects. The quantum sensor demonstrated consists of two parts: electronics developed by EDI and optics developed by the Institute of Applied Quantum Technologies at Friedrich Alexander University (FAU).
