Quantum Sensing / Gas Detection
Quantum Lidar Gas Detection
Refined and deployed detection algorithms and flow-rate calculations onto a proprietary Quantum Gas Lidar device using single-photon detection to monitor gas density and lidar distance simultaneously, with supporting software for sensor processing, remote logging and device access.
The challenge
Process noisy, high-volume datasets from a variety of sensors while deploying algorithms onto an embedded device requiring remote logging and secure access.
Our approach
Custom high-performance C++ data analysis and processing; embedded software on Yocto Linux; an on-device web UI with HTTP and MQTT APIs; a high-performance MQTT logging system; and results evaluation with automated test-suites and defined metrics.
Results
Early proof-of-concept code in MATLAB took around 20 minutes to render a single image; the deployed system generates a live plot in roughly 20–30 seconds. A live demonstration of the device supported the client's next investment round.
