■        TITLE
Nanoscale quantum sensing for life science

■    ABSTRACT
Novel quantum technologies have lead to the development of quantum sensors with potential application in life science. By combining e.g. optical microscopy with nuclear magnetic resonance it becomes possible to measure and image cellular structures, label-free, with chemical specificity and nanoscale spatial resolution. In the talk I will discuss various quantum sensors based on spin defects in materials like diamond. With such a system we measure a wealth of quantities including electric and magnetic fields, temperature, and force. We measure those quantities under ambient conditions and with unprecedented accuracy [1-4]. I will present a variety of applications including imaging of cellular structures.
