It's out!! Very proud to have worked on this, and if you want to get into quantum sensing and help improve and open source project, THIS IS FOR YOU!
💎 Meet Uncut Gem — our first fully open-source, hackable quantum sensor! 💎

We see talk about opening up quantum tech and making it accessible —so we did something about it. Say hello to a sensor built to empower exploration, lower barriers, and bring quantum sensing to all 🔗⤵️
