Please, visit our website at http://quebs-2013.imp.ac.at for submission of abstracts (Deadline: April 15th 2013) and registration (Early Deadline: May 15th 2013, Late Deadline: June 15th 2013). **** ** ** As in the previous four workshops, the meeting will cover the latest developments in quantum phenomena in biological systems and chemical structures central to life. The meeting will be held at the Vienna Bio Campus (VBC) and we anticipate about 100 participants. By choosing this venue, we intend to bring together the international experts in this emerging field with biologists and researchers working on the development of new bio-sensing and probing techniques. We expect this format to further engage the biology community and provide a stimulating environment for physicists and chemists for discussions. The meeting will consist of a mix of keynote, invited (40+5 min) and contributed (20+5 min) presentations as well as a poster session covering a variety of topics including:**** ** ** (1) Energy transfer in photosynthesis**** (2) Recent and Emerging systems ** ** (3) Quantum Biology for Biologist**** (4) Fundamental open biological questions**** (5) Quantum based approaches and techniques for biology**** (6) Emerging techniques for quantum biology **** ** ** Among the confirmed invited speakers of this year are:**** ** ** Anton Zeilinger (Keynote) – University of Vienna & IQOQI**** Markus Arndt - University of Vienna**** Alan Aspuru-Guzik - Harvard University**** Hans Briegel - University of Innsbruck**** Greg Engel - University of Chicago**** Joachim Heberle - Freie Universität Berlin**** Peter Hore - University of Oxford**** Susana Huelga - University of Ulm**** David Keays - Institute of Molecular Pathology**** Philipp Kukura - University of Oxford**** Massimo Olivucci - Univ. di Siena & Bowling Green State Univ.**** Masoud Mohseni - MIT & BBN Technologies**** Henrik Mouritsen - University of Oldenburg**** Yasser Omar - Technical University of Lisbon**** Martin Plenio - University of Ulm**** Markus Raschke - University of Colorado**** Arno Rauschenbeutel - Vienna University of Technology**** Makis Skoulakis - Alexander Fleming Research Center**** Jörg Wrachtrup University of Stuttgart**** Birgitta Whaley - University of California, Berkeley**** Fred Wolf - Max Planck Institute for Dynamics and Self-Organization**** ** ** We hope to welcome you at the QuEBS 2013 in Vienna.**** ** ** Sincerely,**** Alipasha Vaziri**** ** ** ** ** * * *------------------------------------------------------------------* *Alipasha Vaziri* *Research Institute of Molecular Pathology (IMP) &* *Max F.
