Prof. Jörg Wrachtrup, University of Stuttgart Bio: Jörg Wrachtrup is professor for experimental physics and director of the 3rd Institute of Physics at University of Stuttgart and Max Planck fellow at the Max Planck Institute for Solid State Research. His research interests comprise solid state quantum spintronics and quantum optics as well as precision quantum metrology. Prof. Wrachtrup has pioneered the field of quantum spin physics by initially doing the very first single electron first single nuclear spins experiments in solids. By combining photonics and spin resonance he discovered defects in insulators, most notably defects in diamond as a valuable system for quantum information processing and novel type of quantum sensors. He and his group carried out the first quantum operations with diamond electron and nuclear spins and designed the first diamond spin based quantum sensor which he is now applying to material science and bioanalytics. |

The accuracy of measurements is limited by quantum mechanics. Ingenious demonstrations, like measuring gravitational fields or time have explored accuracy limits and reached fundamental obstructions Yet, precision measurements so far are restricted to macroscale and dedicated environments.
In this talk I will discuss spin quantum sensors comprising a single electron spin plus a nuclear spin quantum register. With such a system we measure a variety of quantities including electric and magnetic fields, temperature, and force. We use nuclear spins to enhance the measurement accuracy of the electron spin e.g. via quantum error correction or as ancillary quantum bits as memory or for quantum Fourier transformation. I will present a variety of applications ranging from quantum simulations to imaging of cellular structures.
