Program Summary
The Quantum Imaging of Vector Electromagnetic Radiation (QuIVER) program aims to develop arrayed vector magnetometers, known as tensor magnetometers, which measure all the spatial components of the magnetic field. This tensor will enable QuIVER to uniquely and precisely locate a magnetic object with a single measurement.
The Department of Defense and industry use magnetometers for magnetic anomaly detection, which may can help discover mineral or oil deposits, locate old wellheads, or detect explosive materials or devices. Common magnetometers require prolonged surveys to locate these objects of interest. QuIVER will enable rapid and exquisite location of magnetic anomalies from a great distance.
