摘要：

Within the first minutes of my talk I will introduce my host institution: the Leibniz Institute of Photonic technologies and it’s mission together with the work done at the Quantum systems department. To start with the aim of this talk I will quickly introduce quantum sensors for magnetic field detection, so-called quantum magnetometers. I will provide a brief review on quantum magnetometer platforms and their specific pro’s and con’s and summarize this in a comparative graphics together with conventional magnetometers. In the third section of my talk I will discuss the impact of quantum magnetometers, namely Superconducting Quantum Interference Devices (SQUID), in geophysical applications for mineral exploration. I will address electromagnetic methods and the magnetic method and will provide insights into the method, the specifics of the magnetometer implementation (ground-based or airborne operation) and will show a case study to evaluate the value of SQUIDs in this scenario. Finally, I will summarize the talk and very briefly discuss the next visions for the development of quantum magnetometers.

报告人简介

Ronny Stolz received his Ph.D. and State Doctorate degrees in physics in 1995 and in 2006 from the Friedrich-Schiller-University in Jena, Germany. In 1995 he joined IPHT in Jena and since 2007 he is head of the Magnetometry group and since 2010 the research group “Near surface geophysics” at the Friedrich-Schiller-university in Jena. Today, he is head of the Quantum Systems department at Leibniz IPHT and became in 2022 Honorary professor at the Technical University in Ilmenau with focus on Quantum engineering. His research topics are the development of superconducting and quantum electronics, especially quantum sensing and metrology using SQUID sensors and optically pumped magnetometers, with focus on geoscientific instrumentation; quantum computation with superconducting qubits; superconducting radiation detectors; and hybrid superconducting and photonic circuits. Since 2020, he has served as elected head of FLUXONICS, a non-profit society dedicated to the development of superconductive electronics in Europe. His publication includes more than 260 scientific papers, more than 170 technical reports and other works, 3 book chapters, and 5 patent families.
