Solid-state quantum sensing technology is the core branch of quantum precision measurement technology, which is the key direction of research in the frontier field of science and technology in the "14th Five-Year Plan", and is included in the core technology development list of quantum technology strategy by Argonne National Laboratory in the "Quantum Interconnection Roadmap". This technology is a kind of precise sensing measurement by observing the response of the quantum state of the solid spin system to changes in external physical quantities, and brings orders of magnitude improvement over classical technical means in terms of accuracy, sensitivity and stability. Because of its ultra-high detection sensitivity and ultra-large detection bandwidth, it is widely used in national strategic urgent fields such as quantum radar and navigation, deep space communication, and early diagnosis of major diseases, and is the commanding height of competition in Europe and the United States.
Zhang Bo has been engaged in solid state quantum sensing technology research for a long time, leading the team to independently develop magnetic resonance and maser core equipment, focusing on (1) ultra-sensitive detection of extremely weak targets and (2) ultra-high fidelity control of solid state quantum sensing under ambient noise environment.
As the person in charge, presided over the National Natural Science Foundation youth project, final assembly pre-research common technology, Anhui Province natural science Foundation surface project a total of 3. As a technical backbone, it has participated in three major national scientific instrument development projects, National Natural Science Foundation cultivation projects, and general technology projects of final assembly and pre-research. In Sci. Adv., Phys. Rev. Lett., Phys. Rev. Applied., J. Chem. Phys., J. Magn. Reson. He has published more than 10 Sci retrieval papers in internationally renowned journals, and has been published by Sci. Adv., Phys. Rev. Lett. And other journal papers are widely cited. In 2023, won the "China Innovation Challenge and Zhongguancun Emerging Fields Special Competition Award". He was invited to attend the "Quantum Information Technology Academic Exchange Conference" (2022) and the BIT-MIPT Joint International Symposium on Superconductivity and 2D of the Chinese Electronics Society Materials (2022), the 9th National Electronic Paramagnetic Resonance Spectroscopy Academic Seminar (2019), International Medical and Engineering Forum (2018) and other domestic and foreign academic conferences, and served as the organizer of the International Medical and Engineering Forum "International Symposium on Medical Engineering", contributed 4 conference invitation reports.
