Quantum mechanics is the ultimate law of nature and when devices are engineered to operate at the quantum limit then efficiencies can be reached that exceed those of any possible classical device.  For sensing, this leads to gains in sensitivity, resolution, and selectivity.  We will explore the origins of this quantum benefit, the coherent controls necessary to achieve benefits, and potential applications.  We will introduce methodologies for sensing and modalities for quantum sensing.  ...
