Summary: Hosts the Centre for Human Brain Health (CHBH) with OPM-MEG and conventional MEG, and a Cold Atoms / quantum-sensing physics group active in atom interferometry and precision measurement.
Notes:
Barontini leads a cold-atom group working on quantum thermometry, atom interferometry and precision measurement with ultracold atoms for tests of fundamental physics and quantum sensing. The work complements NV-center diamond ensemble quantum sensing (DEER, NMR, T1 relaxometry) at pT/sqrt(Hz) sensitivity by pursuing the same field-sensing goals in a different physical platform.
Kowalczyk develops and applies OPM-MEG at Birmingham's CHBH, including paediatric and naturalistic-paradigm neuroimaging. The work complements NV-center diamond ensemble quantum sensing (DEER, NMR, T1 relaxometry) at pT/sqrt(Hz) sensitivity by pursuing the same field-sensing goals in a different physical platform.
