By manipulating the quantum state of defect spins in solids we can probe important questions about interactions on the single-molecule scale, reveal the underlying physics of new designer materials and explore hidden quantum mechanical phenomena at the nanometre scale.
As part of our cross-disciplinary collaborations, we employ quantum sensors in nanocrystals that can be localized inside individual live cells or organisms by utilizing a bespoke biosensing platform (Q-BiC). We aim to translate this platform for use in biomedical research.
