The lab uses diamond quantum sensors to measure the world of life.
AboutAbout the lab
Capturing the living world through quantum eyes.
The Bio-Nano Quantum Measurement Science Lab studies technology for measuring biological phenomena, using NV centers, quantum systems confined in diamond crystals, as sensors.
The lab's website is the page of the Next-Generation Quantum Sensor Team at the Institute for Quantum Life Science, National Institutes for Quantum Science and Technology (QST).
Believing that transformations in life science have been driven by new measurement technologies, the lab aims to create "next-generation biomeasurement technology" that measures the nanoscale living world with ultimate precision.
The lab expects this technology to give new methods of analysis for complex biological phenomena such as aging, carcinogenesis, and neural activity.
Key terms
- NV center
- A defect in a diamond crystal in which a nitrogen atom sits next to a vacancy left by a missing carbon atom. It works as a quantum sensor.
- Quantum sensor
- A device that uses quantum properties to measure magnetic fields, temperature, and other quantities with high precision.
- Nano
- A prefix meaning one billionth. The nanoscale corresponds to the size of molecules and particles inside cells.
ResearchResearch themes
Measurement technology underpins scientific progress, and transformations in life science have been driven by new measurement technologies. The lab is working to create next-generation biomeasurement technology that uses diamond as a quantum sensor.
