The photo is from our recent visit to Queen Square to give a talk organized by Gareth Barnes and the MEG team.

It's awesome to have Kirill Eves and Anis Rahman as Co-Founders, and it's great to be working closely with Peter Zhegin on this. We're currently hiring core engineers from our network, and will be advertizing further engineering roles soon.

I'm very excited to anounce that I'm Co-Founder and CEO at e184 BAI. As AI advances, having a way to work more closely with it is ever more important. That's why we're developing sensitive magnetometers for magnetoencephalography (MEG) towards building a brain-computer interface.

Congrats to Alex Newman on his great PhD and passing his viva!

Congrats!

We took our annual group photo

Wow impressive :)

We were inspired by the work of breast cancer surgeon Stuart Robertson at University Hospitals Coventry and Warwickshire (UHCW) NHS Trust. We got great funding and support from the National Nuclear Laboratory, EPSRC, STFC, Innovate UK and Dstl. We are taking this further with www.qbiomed.org

…and our paper is here journals.aps.org/prapplied/ab...

It's great to work on this at the University of Warwick. We used a beautiful diamond made by Matthew Markham and Andrew Edmonds at Element Six

Diamonds could help detect cancer using groundbreaking new technique University of Warwick scientists have created a device that is designed to trace tiny magnetic particles injected into the body

Alex Newman built a diamond magnetometer we'd like to use for cancer surgery. The sensor head is 10 mm across: small enough for keyhole surgery and endoscopy. He could detect the magnetic tracer fluid used in breast cancer surgery. The Independent covered it: www.the-independent.com/news/health/...

Congrats to Alex Newman for winning the best talk prize at the Warwick Diamond Conference! He talked about his great work building an endoscopic probe based on diamond for finding cancer: arxiv.org/abs/2504.05884

Great postdoc job opportunity to work with Mark Newton, Ben Green and Julie Macpherson

Group photo for Warwick Quantum launch event

The Warwick Quantum Launch Event yesterday was awesome thanks to the interesting and dynamic speakers and attendees! Quantum technology is in great shape. We appreciate support from the University of Warwick Digital Spotlight and the EPSRC network M4QN. warwick.ac.uk/WarwickQuantum

Warwick Quantum launch schedule

The Warwick Quantum Launch Event is tomorrow! The speakers are very exciting and there will be sun for the BBQ!

Fun and interesting day today demonstrating our diamond magnetometer at the Royal Society Summer Science Exhibition

There’s still time to register for the launch event for Warwick Quantum at the University of Warwick on Friday 11th July. Come for the talks, stay for the BBQ! Non-Warwick folk are just as welcome as Warwick folk 💡 🧪 warwick.ac.uk/fac/sci/rese...

We invited 16 women and 16 men. We were unlucky that so many women had prior commitments

Schedule for Warwick Quantum Launch Event

We're excited to announce the Launch Event for Warwick Quantum on Friday 11th July in Warwick! WQ is a new interdisciplinary research initiative bringing together the quantum technology teams in the University of Warwick. Sign up here for amazing speakers and BBQ:

This work was funded by the STFC and the EPSRC including the new Q-BIOMED Quantum Technology Hub www.qbiomed.org

We thank the NHS, in particular Stuart Robertson and Joseph Hardwicke at the University Hospitals Coventry and Warwickshire (UHCW). Alex's PhD is funded by the United Kingdom National Nuclear Laboratory, and we're grateful to Douglas Offin there for useful discussions

Endoscopic fiber-coupled diamond magnetometer for cancer surgery Interoperative measurements using magnetic sensors is a valuable technique in cancer surgery for finding magnetic tracers. Here we present a fiber-coupled nitrogen-vacancy (N-V) center magnetometer ca...

We can detect the magnetic tracer fluid used in breast cancer surgery as you can see in our preprint: arxiv.org/abs/2504.05884

This is great work from first-author Alex Newman, with a beautiful diamond from Matthew Markham and Andrew Edmonds at Element Six

Photo of a 10-mom-diameter endoscopic magnetometer probe with a ruler for scale

We’ve built an endoscopic diamond magnetometer! With some development, this could help find secondary tumours in breast cancer surgery, as well as helping with laparoscopic and endoscopic operations. Our probe is only 10 mm in diameter: an endoscopic probe has to be 12 mm or less
