Greg Blackman looks at novel imaging devices based on quantum science, and finds that the technology is closer to commercialisation than first expected
Work from the first three years of the £270 million UK National Quantum Technology programme, including that from the quantum imaging hub, was showcased at an event in London on 22 November
At Laser World of Photonics in Munich, the UK Quantum Technology Hub in Quantum Enhanced Imaging was displaying a number of imaging project demonstrators, including a methane gas camera being built in collaboration with M Squared Lasers
Researchers at the University of Glasgow in Scotland have collaborated with laser manufacturer M Squared to develop an infrared imaging system that could offer low-cost, real-time detection of methane gas
