“The ability to measure currents accurately while minimizing interference makes this sensor a promising candidate for monitoring battery systems in electric vehicles, where precision and reliability are paramount,” said Mutsuko Hatano, one of the researchers and a professor at the school of engineering at ISCT.
Next, the team behind the study plans to find ways to increase the density of NV centers in the diamond sensors so that they could deliver much better performance. Hopefully, current and future research will soon enable the integration of this promising quantum technology into EVs on a large scale.
