Weak magnetic fields influence biological cells and there is strong circumstantial evidence that the mechanism is quantum. Quantum consciousness will have to come later; the actual quantum story is that by understanding the physics behind weak magnet...

Electron spin-dependent chemical reactions in biology

Electron spin-dependent chemical reactions in biology

Our technologies allow us to determine if biological processes are controlled by weak magnetic fields and if such chemical reactions are driven by electron spin. If successful, this would mean that spin superpositions survive the wet, hot environment of the cell for long enough to influence function. The applications of this discovery would revolutionize therapeutics, human medicine, and even space travel.


Phonon-assisted molecular recognition

Phonon-assisted molecular recognition

When a "key" molecule "locks" into another molecule, this coupling is thought to have a specific vibrational signature called phonons. Phonons influence a number of molecular properties, including how viruses attach to cells, how neurotransmitters are received by a target cell, and how enzymes catalyze reactions. We apply quantum technology to further understand the relationship between particular phonon energies and molecular recognition.


Chiral-induced spin selectivity under a quantum lens

Chiral-induced spin selectivity under a quantum lens

Chiral-induced spin selectivity is a recently discovered phenomenon that describes how nature has an electron spin preference during electron transport. We use quantum technology to study the transport of electrons with spin "up" or "down", as well as spins in a superposition of both "up" and "down." Advancements in this area will open the door for new quantum technologies inspired by nature.
