Summary:
- The U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP) agency is looking to use advanced technology, including AI-powered quantum sensors, to detect fentanyl and other drugs hidden in vehicles crossing the border.
- These quantum sensors could use the unique quantum properties of materials to identify the chemical signatures of drugs, even in small quantities, without having to physically search the vehicle.
- The goal is to improve the speed and accuracy of drug detection at the border, helping to address the ongoing opioid crisis and prevent the smuggling of dangerous substances into the country.
