The Center for Quantum Leaps Presents Quantum Industry Colloquium Fall Series

About this event

The Center for Quantum Leaps (CQL) is pleased to welcome Dr. Christopher M. Jones from Halliburton for a Quantum Industry Colloquium titled "Sensing the Unseen: Quantum-Enhanced Sensor Physics for the Subsurface."

The subsurface holds critical resources for energy production, geothermal development, carbon storage, and critical minerals, but measuring these environments remains a significant challenge. In this talk, Dr. Christopher Jones will explore how quantum technologies can enhance subsurface sensing through improved sensitivity, signal detection, imaging, and data interpretation. Drawing on Halliburton's research, he will discuss advances in optical, electromagnetic, magnetic, and quantum sensing, including efforts to translate laboratory innovations into rugged industrial systems. The colloquium will highlight the potential of quantum-enhanced sensing to advance scientific discovery, inform subsurface resource management, and foster collaboration between academia and industry.
