Dear all,
On Wednesday, March 20, there will be the HQOC/ITAMP Seminar by Prof.
Martin Plenio.
The title and abstract can be found below.
Here is his personal web page
http://qubit-ulm.com/martin-plenio/ .
Before the seminar, we have a group slot to meet with him between 2:30-3:10
at the Division Room.
Please let me know if you would like to meet with him.
Best wishes,

*"**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.***
