Winton Programme for the Physics of Sustainability

Department of Physics
 

Talk by Winton Advanced Research Fellow, Alex Chin

 

The surprisingly observation of sustained, room temperature quantum dynamics in molecular structures taken from photosynthetic organism has lead to renewed interdisciplinary interest in the possible roles of quantum mechanics in biological processes. This talk will discuss some of the new ideas in the emerging field of “Quantum Biology” and how these might be applied in man-made organic systems to create new and highly efficient (quantum) nanoscale devices.

The talk is free and open to all to attend, and will be followed by refreshments.  No registration is necessary.

This talk is part of the Darwin Society series.

Date: 
Thursday, 6 March, 2014 - 19:00 to 20:30
Event location: 
Lloyd Room, Christ's College

Manipulation of Quantum Entangled Triplet Pairs

7 January 2021

Researchers have uncovered a new technique to create and manipulate pairs of particle-like excitations in organic semiconductors that carry non-classical spin information across space, much like the entangled photon pairs in the famous Einstein-Podolsky-Roden “paradox”.

Machine learning algorithm helps in the search for new drugs

20 March 2019

Researchers have designed a machine learning algorithm for drug discovery which has been shown to be twice as efficient as the industry standard.
