Quantum physics is no longer confined to cryogenic chips and vacuum chambers. It is starting to seep into the machinery of life itself, as researchers learn to build quantum behavior directly into ...

The University of Chicago is launching the Berggren Center for Quantum Biology and Medicine, a bold scientific field that merges quantum technology with biology to transform the future of medicine and ...

Quantum effects are no longer confined to ultra-cold chips and vacuum chambers. For the first time, researchers have deliberately engineered a controllable quantum bit inside living cells and tied it ...

A hundred years ago, quantum mechanics was a radical theory that baffled even the brightest minds. Today, it's the backbone of technologies that shape our lives, from lasers and microchips to quantum ...

A team at Japan's National Institutes for Quantum Science and Technology (QST) has published a field-defining Perspective that places the societal payoff of quantum technologies front and center: ...

For the first time, researchers at the University of Oxford have engineered quantum effects inside proteins, opening the door to a new class of ‘quantum-enabled’ biological technologies.The ...

The so-called magneto-sensitive fluorescent proteins or MFPs, overcome key limitations of previous biological candidates for quantum sensors.

The National Academies will host a workshop on the research and development needs to advance biological applications of quantum-enabled sensing and imaging technologies. The workshop will bring ...

Chiba, Japan, January 12, 2026—A team at Japan’s National Institutes for Quantum Science and Technology (QST) has published a field-defining Perspective that places the societal payoff of quantum ...

The National Academies of Sciences, Engineering, and Medicine are private, nonprofit institutions that provide expert advice on some of the most pressing challenges facing the nation and world. Our ...
