AboutAbout the lab
Exploring the power of proteins through a quantum lens
The Protein Quantum Functional Science Lab investigates the quantum effects found in proteins, aiming to develop unprecedented molecules that are useful in everyday life.
Proteins are the central molecules that carry out the activities of living organisms, and quantum effects are one of the things that underlie their remarkable functions.
The lab studies quantum effects in proteins, for example energy transfer during photosynthesis.
The lab conducts its research at the Institute for Quantum Life Science of the National Institutes for Quantum Science and Technology (QST), and the institute's website presents it under the name 'Protein Function Analysis Team.'

- Quantum effects
- Quantum effects: phenomena that arise in the tiny world of atoms and molecules because particles behave like waves
- Quantum life science
- Quantum life science: a field that integrates quantum theory and quantum technology with life science, in order to understand biological phenomena and to lead to new technologies
