The quantum sensors will initially be used for analyzing substances in air. This enables the measurement of particles that are about two hundred times smaller than the width of a human hair,” says Niels Syassen, Senior Vice President R&D at SICK and responsible for the project there. Using quantum effects, additional details can be perceived from signal noise where, up to now, no specific signals would have been measureable. “Quantum technology is the next level for sensors because it shifts hitherto firmly established technical limits. Using laser light, quantum sensors permit highly efficient measurements that would be impossible with conventional processes. With industrialization of these sensors, not just us but Germany – as a high-tech location – takes a major step towards the commercialization of quantum technology,” says Michael Förtsch, CEO of Q.ANT. “Quantum technology enables, for example, ultrafast measurements of the movement and size distribution of particles. For the first time, Q.ANT and SICK have now successfully completed functional tests for an industrial application. Quantum sensors have hitherto mainly been used in research. Highly precise measurements of the smallest of particles The first use of the new quantum sensors is planned for 2021. The quantum sensor enables highly accurate measurements and will provide insights that will lead to completely new industrial applications,” says Peter Leibinger, Chief Technology Officer at TRUMPF.

This will be the first time that the partnership between our two high-tech companies will involve a product for serial production. “Quantum technology is an enormous opportunity for German and European industry. As a specialist in quantum technology, the TRUMPF subsidiary Q.ANT takes on production of the measurement technology – and thus the sensor’s core technology. Quantum sensors are a key technology for the future of industry,” says Robert Bauer, Chairman of the Executive Board of SICK AG.Īs a market and technology leader for industrial sensors, SICK will be responsible for application development and sales of the product. “SICK is expanding its position as a worldwide technology leader in the sensor sector by embarking on the production of quantum sensors.
Quantum sensors enable measurements with unprecedented accuracy. The signing was preceded by a successful functional test of the world’s first quantum optical sensor for serial production. Representatives of the two high-tech companies signed a cooperation agreement in early November 2020 to make quantum technology for sensors available for industrial use.
The wholly owned TRUMPF subsidiary Q.ANT and sensor specialist SICK will in future work together on the development of quantum optical sensors. Experts estimate total market for quantum sensors at about EUR 1.1 bn.First sensors in industrial use from 2021.Successful functional test of the world’s first quantum optical sensor for serial production.Cooperation agreement on development of industrial quantum sensor signed.In a continuation of Sensor Day at The Manufacturing Connection, here is an announcement about an Industrial quantum sensor development.
