This project aims to use cutting edge diamond-based quantum sensors to develop a robust, compact and sensitive nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) spectrometer for trace chemical detection analysis. NMR is the gold standard of chemical characterisation and quantification. Yet this powerful and ubiquitous technique is not currently available to field operators needing to characterise and quantify samples that are potentially highly toxic or explosive. Our proposed quantum-based sensing technology would provide Defence with enhanced situational awareness and could dramatically reduce exposure of military personnel to chemical/explosive threats while providing high-fidelity data from which truly informed tactical decisions can be made.

该项目旨在使用尖端钻石的量子传感器来开发坚固，紧凑和敏感的核磁共振（NMR）光谱仪进行痕量化学检测分析。 NMR是化学表征和定量的黄金标准。但是，目前，这种强大而普遍存在的技术尚不适用于需要表征和量化潜在有毒或爆炸性的样品的现场操作员。我们拟议的基于量子的传感技术将为防御提供增强的情境意识，并可以大大减少军事人员对化学/爆炸性威胁的暴露，同时提供高保真数据，从而可以从中做出真正明智的战术决定。
