Using a molecule as a quantum sensor

Share Waterloo researchers develop new quantum-sensing technique that could map single protein structures and lead to breakthroughs in medicine A new quantum sensing technique could enable measurements of single protein structures and other important molecules, with potential applications in drug discovery and structural biology. The research team from the Institute for Quantum Computing (IQC) at the University of Waterloo developed the new method that uses a single molecule as a quantum sensor. Quantum sensors use unique properties of quantum mechanics to make ultra-precise measurements that
