About

Read the summary of the workshop presentations and discussions.

The National Academies of Sciences, Engineering, and Medicine hosted a workshop on the research and development needs to advance biological applications of quantum-enabled sensing and imaging technologies.

The workshop brought together experts working on state-of-the-art quantum-enabled technologies with scientists who are interested in applying these technologies to biological systems. Through talks, panels, and discussions, the workshop facilitated a better understanding of the current and future biological applications of quantum-enabled technologies on fields such as microbiology, molecular biology, cell biology, plant science, mycology, and many others.

About

Quantum biology is valuable for answering many of life's small and large questions. On March 4, 4-5pm ET, scientists and members of the workshop planning committee, Drs. Clarice D. Aiello and Jason B. West, hosted an office hour Q&A chat on Zoom for participants to ask preliminary questions before the workshop.

Hosted by:
Dr. Clarice D. Aiello is a Brazilian quantum engineer, leader of the University of California, Los Angeles’ (UCLA) Quantum Biology Tech Lab (QuBiT) and interested in how quantum physics informs biology at the nanoscale. She is actively engaged in fostering the quantum biology field as organizer of an international series of trainee-focused weekly talks about Quantum Biology
Dr. Jason B. West is an Associate Professor in the Department of Ecology and Conservation Biology at Texas A&M University. He is a plant physiological ecologist who studies the ecological and evolutionary causes of trait variation across a range of organizational and spatiotemporal scales, as well as the ecosystem-scale impacts of that variation. He has worked in a number of ecological systems in North and South America and collaborates with colleagues around the world in many others.

We have posted a primer and additional materials on our website.
