Engineering, Computer Science Students Conduct Research on
Quantum Sensors for Competition Their challenge was to research
the past and to present a possible vision for the future of
quantum sensors. Teams of Old Dominion University engineering
and computer science students presented their research findings
and visualizations to a panel of government and business
professionals during ODU's first-ever Infographics Competition
on Jan. 25 in the Learning Commons of Perry Library. A quantum
sensor is a device that exploits quantum correlations to achieve
better sensitivity or resolution in a variety of measurements.
The competition, designed and organized by Steven Walk,
assistant professor of electrical engineering technology, gave
the student teams the task of "developing innovative data
visualizations (either static or interactive) to communicate to
anyone the history and trajectory of quantum sensing
technology." Michele Weigle, associate professor of computer
science, and Yuzhong Shen, associate professor of
