If the device doesn't use quantum effects directly, it isn't a quantum sensor.
Otherwise words have no meaning and textbooks would call 1860's steam engines electric quantum engines because materials are held together with electric effects and atoms have quantum properties.
Well everything uses quantum effects directly at least the highs field like you said. Your definition is therefore bad. But the examples do use gravitons because they measure gravity the same a camera uses photons to measure light, which are both quants and are measured in "easy" ways. Just because you are posh about it and try to define it as only the large hardron collider
