" Controlling Resonances for Quantum Sensing and Quantum Biology"
In this talk I will discuss the two seemingly different concepts of sensing with
nanodiamonds and the electron and vibrational quantum dynamics in biological systems. I
will show that both rely on the careful matching of resonances, known as the Hartmann-Hahn
resonance condition in NMR and the phonon antennae in biological systems. I will discuss
how in both cases optimization either technological or evolutionary may lead to
considerable improvements of performance and discuss the potential relevance of these
ideas in quantum biology.
