RF Antennas and sensors play critical roles in communication to medical and defence applications. With the electromagnetic (EM) spectrum growing increasingly congested, it is becoming more and more difficult to detect EM signals. Superconducting Quantum Antennas (SQAs) represent a new generation of quantum sensors that are highly sensitive, small scale, and can operate over a wide range of frequencies. In light of the importance of this technology, we are interested in understanding what quantum sensing is from the most fundamental point of view. In our presentation, the links between the geometrical phase, the Berry phase, and the Aharonov-Bohm Effect (sometimes called the Ehrenberg–Siday–Aharonov–Bohm effect) will be briefly discussed. Furthermore, the initial results towards the fabrication of complete RF Sensing systems are discussed in this presentation.
