In this article, IDTechEx explores how semiconductor manufacturing holds the key to enabling the low-cost mass production of quantum sensors.

Quantum sensors get their name from their ability to measure on a quantum scale the smallest known parts of the universe, including atoms and other tiny particles, some of which were unknown before the introduction of this technology. IDTechEx's report, "Quantum Sensors Market 2025-2045: Technology, Trends, Players, Forecasts" provides an in-depth analysis of the technology by type and application, forecasting the quantum sensor market to reach US$2.2 billion in 2045, with a compound annual growth rate of 11.4%.

In the last few months, three of the world's largest tech giants made waves with their announcements in quantum computing. But what will the impact of Microsoft's Majorana 1, Google's Willow, and Amazon's Ocelot be once the dust has settled, and is it just big tech making strides in developing quantum computers?

It should come as no surprise that PIC transceivers are fast becoming essential tools in the AI revolution, where they speed up connections between nodes in data centers whilst reducing power consumption, allowing larger AI models to be trained and executed. IDTechEx's recent report on the topic, "Silicon Photonics and Photonic Integrated Circuits 2025-2035: Technologies, Market, Forecasts", predicts this application to be the major contributor to its US$54 billion forecast for the PIC market in 2035.
