The ability to prepare, manipulate and measure quantum states of light has seen dramatic advances in the last decades, and has been at the forefront of demonstrating and utilizing phenomena such as such as quantum entanglement, and quantum superposition and squeezed light. They are expected to revolutionize a wide range of fields and to form an important the basis for the so-called “second generation” quantum technologies. The area of quantum sensing is expected to be among the first areas to deliver real-world applications and products.

Sensing with classical light in the form of imaging, microscopy, spectroscopy and interferometric methods has always played an enormous role. Sensing with quantum light aims at utilizing the properties of quantum optical states to overcome classical and technological limitations, for example with respect to resolution or sensitivity or by offering new measurement modalities, for example by linking different wavelength regions.

The workshop aims at covering a broad range of theoretical and experimental aspects of sensing with quantum light, offering for forum for both fundamental aspects and applications.
