TUM researchers demonstrated the ability to control protein spin states using radio waves, enabling remote manipulation of biochemical processes within living systems. This approach leverages genetically tunable biological molecules as quantum sensors, offering a distinct alternative to traditional solid-state materials like diamonds for biosensing applications. The breakthrough paves the way for detecting and directing biological activity via electromagnetic fields, expanding the toolkit for non-invasive cellular control.
TUM Team Uses Radio Waves to Read Protein Quantum States

TUM researchers demonstrated selective control of proteins using radio waves, influencing a quantum state called spin and visualizing it with light.
Researchers at the Technical University of Munich (TUM) have demonstrated a new method of influencing quantum states within proteins using radio waves, a discovery published in Nature Biotechnology. Unlike traditional quantum sensors built from solid-state materials, these biological molecules offer the potential for genetic production and precise tailoring for biosensing applications directly within living systems. The team, led by Professor Dominik Bucher…
