报告摘要：
在本报告中，将从两个主要方面来阐述量子物理在生物学中起到的重要作用。一方面，基于量子物理的新型器件提供了一种有效的探索生物系统的新方法。比如，利用金刚石中的单量子自旋，我们可以高效的对原子核自旋进行极化，从而实现利用纳米金刚石来做磁共振成像显影剂。此外，金刚石中的单量子自旋还提供了在活体内进行原子核自旋检测以及蛋白质结构解析的可能途径。另一方面，在分子尺度上，量子物理在生物过程中也起到重要的作用；特别是电子和声子振动之间的量子动力学相互作用在生物过程及其关键，可以解释光合作用的高效率，并且有助于理解嗅觉的机理。

Abstract:
In this lecture I will introduce two aspects of the role of quantum physics in biology. On the one hand quantum devices can be used to explore biological systems. Here the use of colour centres in diamond allows for the creation of hyperpolarisation for the use of nano diamonds as contrast agents in magnetic resonance imaging. Furthermore, as a long term perspective colour centres may also allow for the sensing of nuclear spins and the in viva observation of protein structure. On the other hand quantum physics may also play a significant role in biological processes at the molecular scale. In this context it has recently emerged that the interplay between electronic and vibrational dynamics is of fundamental importance in quantum biological processes and may explain the remarkable efficiency of photosynthesis as well as the processes that are underlying our sense of smell.
