Description:
The ability of birds to navigate over incredibly long distances appears to take
root in a quantum phenomenon known as Pauli spin blockade. This project
mimics Nature by building and studying a man-made Pauli spin blockade
magnetometer from our core expertise in (i) single spin physics in nanoscale
devices at the Institut quantique (IQ) for experiments and McGill University for
theory, (ii) scanning probe capabilities and nanofabrication expertise at the
National Research Council, and (iii) the ground-breaking work on single atom
circuits by Quantum Silicon Inc. (QSi). This QSP project is intended to be a first
proof-of-concept to demonstrate the viability of our approach towards
marketable quantum sensors within Quantum Silicon’s product portfolio.
