Workshop on Smart Sensing: Utilizing Quantum Behavior in Biological Function
Abstract
In recent years, there has been increasing evidence of quantum mechanicalbehavior appearing to play non-trivial roles in certain biological function. These examplesappear wide-ranging from photosynthesis in plants to magnetoreception in animals.Incorporating quantum biology behavior opens the possibility of creating new sensingtechnologies that can “see” (and extend) beyond our current detection capabilities to monitor oursurroundings. We are planning a workshop on quantum behavior in biological function for smartsensing applications. The overarching goals of this workshop are to assemble a group of worldclassscientific leaders to: (1) review the progress to date in the field; (2) explore advanced toolsand techniques need to identify novel quantum biology behavior; and (3) identify challenges andpotential approaches for the incorporation of quantum biology behavior appearing in smartsensors.
