How will we answer?
|
The Quantum Biology Laboratory explores fundamental questions at the nexus of quantum theory, electrodynamics, and biosystems, with a view toward global impact.
|
From quantum reality to clinical application
|
Investigators in the Quantum Biology Lab use tools from theoretical physics, condensed matter, quantum optics, molecular biology, biochemistry, genomics, spectroscopy, and high-performance computing to solve an array of problems relevant to human disease processes and clinical medicine.
|
With a transformative vision that extends from the subatomic to the clinical scale, the Quantum Biology Lab studies how collective behaviors in living matter can be manifested, controlled, and exploited for the development of advanced tools, diagnostics, and therapies to address neurodegenerative, oncological, immunological, and oxidative metabolic disorders.

|
Understanding whole biosystems in their contextual quantum/classical environments
|
At the forefront of efforts to elucidate the physical mechanisms for long-range electrodynamic communication in noisy biological environments, and to understand how light and living matter interact to produce complex systems phenomena, the Quantum Biology Lab seeks to develop fundamental theory and computational models to guide novel spectroscopic experiments. These platforms can serve as the basis for new architectures and tools in quantum biosensing, quantum control, and quantum reservoir engineering.

Areas of Inquiry in
Quantum Physics
We use a variety of approaches in quantum physics, from Jaynes-Cummings-type models to density functional theory techniques and quantum field theories.
Quantum TheoryExplore foundational questions across classical and quantum electrodynamics, in particular how light interacts with matter fields to produce unusual effects at the mesoscopic scale.
