Distributed Quantum Sensing Empowered by Multipartite Entanglement and Machine Learning

Quantum information science (QIS) endows new capabilities for communications, computing, and sensing. Quantum entanglement is a unique resource that lies at the heart of QIS. In this talk, I will present our recent work of harnessing entanglement to interconnect a network of sensors to achieve measurement performance beyond the reach of classical sensor networks. I will discuss how state-of-the-art machine-learning tools have been utilized to train an entangled sensor network to undertake data-processing tasks. Our work would create new opportunities for positioning, navigation, and imaging.
