Experimental setup with green laser light and a small diamond sample between metal contacts. — Researchers led by Nathalie de Leon have developed a magnetic sensing technique using quantum entanglement to detect previously hidden fluctuations in advanced materials such as superconductors. The researchers implant point defects in lab-grown diamonds to reveal an unprecedented look at magnetic field structure and correlated noise, a quantity that is beyond the reach of existing instruments.
