Optical and Quantum Electronics - CALL FOR PAPERS: Optical Quantum Sensors for Bioimaging and Molecular Analysis

New Content Item

This special issue, "Optical Quantum Sensors for Bioimaging and Molecular Analysis," arises from the synergy between quantum optics and life sciences. Quantum technologies have recently gained prominence for their potential to revolutionize fields like bioimaging and molecular analysis. Traditional optical methods often face limitations in sensitivity and resolution, hindering precise exploration of biological processes. Optical quantum sensors, harnessing quantum properties like entanglement and superposition, offer a promising solution. They enable ultra-high-resolution bioimaging, single-molecule detection, and advanced spectroscopy. This special issue serves as a crucial platform for the exchange of ideas, showcasing innovative research findings, and addressing challenges in applying quantum sensors to biology. It holds the potential to advance fundamental biological understanding and the development of groundbreaking diagnostic and therapeutic tools.

The objective of this special issue is to showcase the cutting-edge research and development in the field of Optical Quantum Sensors for Bioimaging and Molecular Analysis. Optical quantum sensors have emerged as powerful tools with the potential to revolutionize various aspects of biology and molecular analysis, ranging from advanced imaging techniques to highly sensitive detection of biomolecules. This special issue aims to bring together researchers and experts from multidisciplinary backgrounds to present their latest findings, discuss challenges, and explore the exciting possibilities offered by optical quantum sensors in the realm of bioimaging and molecular analysis.

We invite contributions on a wide range of topics related to optical quantum sensors for bioimaging and molecular analysis, including but not limited to:

  • Quantum-enhanced microscopy for high-resolution bioimaging.
  • Quantum sensors for single-molecule detection and analysis.
  • Quantum sensing techniques for label-free biomolecule detection.
  • Quantum-enhanced spectroscopy for molecular analysis.
  • Quantum-enhanced imaging of cellular and subcellular structures.
  • Applications of entangled photon sources in bioimaging.
  • Quantum sensors for in vivo imaging and diagnostics.
  • Quantum-enhanced techniques for tracking and imaging biomolecular interactions.
  • Quantum-inspired approaches to bioimaging and molecular analysis.
