Summary: The ARC Centre of Excellence in Quantum Biotechnology aims to develop paradigm-shifting quantum technologies to observe biological processes and transform our understanding of life. It seeks to create technologies that go far beyond what is possible today, from portable whole-brain imagers to super-fast single protein sensors, and to use them to unravel key problems including how enzymes catalyse reactions, how higher brain function emerges from networks of neurons, and the role of quantum physics in biology. The Centre’s diverse multidisciplinary team is ideally placed to train a community of future leaders at the interface of quantum science and biology and to drive Australian industry in imaging, energy, pharmaceuticals and agriculture.
