Quantum biosensing

Quantum probes can detect fields or local environmental changes associated with biological samples.

01 / Mathematical framework
$$\Delta\omega=\gamma\Delta B$$

Physical intuition

Quantum probes can detect fields or local environmental changes associated with biological samples.

Deep dive: physical mechanism

Use a calibrated spin or optical sensor to map a biological quantity into a frequency, phase or fluorescence observable.

What is measured experimentally?

Report detection limit, spatial resolution and specificity against controls.

Assumptions, noise and limitations

Quantum sensitivity does not automatically imply chemical or biological selectivity.

Research and simulation exercise

Design a blinded control experiment for magnetic nanoparticle detection.
