Quantum technology is about much more than computing. Developed by the University of Nottingham and spin-out Cerca Magnetics, this wearable brain scanner uses optically pumped magnetometers to measure brain function with magnetoencephalography (MEG). The quantum sensors enable a far more compact and versatile helmet-sized system, compared with existing room-sized MEG equipment based on superconductors. Photo: Cerca Magnetics/UKRI. |
