Quantum Sensing and Spin-Based Technologies in Biophysics
Benesh Joseph
Kommentar
The goal of this seminar is to explore how quantum mechanical principles and spin-based technologies are advancing the frontiers of biophysical research. The course will focus on how quantum sensors, such as nitrogen-vacancy (NV) centers in diamond, spin labels, and other paramagnetic probes, can be used to measure magnetic fields, temperature, molecular dynamics, and conformational changes in biological systems with high sensitivity and resolution.
Participants will present and discuss recent experimental and theoretical advances in this field. Emphasis will be placed on understanding the underlying quantum physics (spin coherence, decoherence, control), the design and operation of quantum sensors in complex environments, and their application to problems in structural biology, membrane biophysics, and cellular function.
