Quantum sensing describes sensitive measurements of a physical quantity by employing quantum systems as sensors and exploiting the high sensitivity of quantum states to external perturbations. The detection of small signals with high spatial resolution is a primary goal of quantum sensing. While color centers in insulators provide extremely high sensitivities to the magnetic objects, improving the spatial resolution is one of the biggest challenges. In contrast, the atomic resolution is easily attainable in scanning tunneling microscopy while maintaining energy resolution in tens of nano-electronvolts. The goal of this symposium to bring together researchers from both communities, discuss the common and distinct challenges and define the future research directions.

Low-temperature plasma is utilized in various applications, from semiconductor processing equipment to atmospheric pressure plasma devices for medicine and agriculture. In order to understand and control the mechanism of plasma discharges and surface interactions, research using computer simulation and machine learning has been actively conducted for several decades. As a result, the numerical scheme changes from a fluid model to a particle-in-cell simulation using a Lagrangian scheme. However, there is still a limit due to the uncertainty about the reaction data and the energy distribution function of the plasma. To overcome the limitation, plasma simulations have been expanding into the field of data-driven computational science using big data and artificial intelligence techniques. This symposium aims to introduce these techniques in low-temperature plasmas.
