Brief description Protein-based quantum sensors: a new tool for biology. This project aims to develop a new class of quantum sensors using recently discovered magneto-responsive fluorescent proteins, to enable new ways to monitor biological processes with sub-cellular resolution. The project expects to generate new knowledge in the area of quantum bio-sensing, by adapting existing quantum methods to fluorescent proteins. Expected outcomes include enhanced understanding of the magneto-optical properties of proteins, development of new quantum sensing protocols, and demonstration of protein-based sensing in biological scenarios. This should provide significant benefits from developing new quantum sensors and creating intellectual property, and laying the foundation for future medical applications in diagnostics.
