Abstract: Modern metrology involves a tight integration of sensors with computation. Suppose that a quantum computer were inserted into this pipeline as the first step in receiving and transforming sensor signals, before classical processing. What could be accomplished? I illustrate the possibilities with three scenarios for which quantum computation may enhance sensing: demodulation of phase shift keyed signals, trajectory discrimination, and RF signal detection. This is made possible by utilizing new capabilities provided by quantum error correction and quantum signal processing.

The Physics Frontiers Centers (PFC) program supports university-based centers and institutes where the collective efforts of a larger group of individuals can enable transformational advances in the most promising research areas. The program is designed to foster major breakthroughs at the intellectual frontiers of physics by providing needed resources such as combinations of talents, skills, disciplines, and/or specialized infrastructure, not usually available to individual investigators or small groups, in an environment in which the collective efforts of the larger group can be shown to be seminal to promoting significant progress in the science and the education of students. PFCs also include creative, substantive activities aimed at enhancing education, broadening participation of traditionally underrepresented groups, and outreach to the scientific community and general public.
