Quantum technologies, like quantum computers and sensors, allow us to see things that are otherwise invisible and to perform computations that would otherwise be impossible.
This promises a deep transformation of the life sciences. Advances in microscopy have transformed society, from the discovery of cells, to the origins of diseases such as malaria and tuberculosis. Computing advances have been even more transformational, changing almost every aspect of how we live our lives. Quantum technologies promise the next revolution.
Join us at our next BrisScience, as UQ’s Professor Warwick Bowen explores quantum biotechnology and what it may hold for our future.
We are very excited to welcome you back to The Edge next month. We'll be serving up delicious light refreshments and drinks after the presentation.
Meet the presenter
Professor Warwick Bowen works to develop new quantum and precision measurement technologies. He works with industry to apply them in fields ranging from biomedicine to aerospace, resources, and energy. He is Director of the Australian Centre of Excellence in Quantum Biotechnology, and a Fellow of the Australian Institute of Physics. He has made important contributions to the application of quantum light in biological microscopy and to the unlabelled detection of single proteins.
About BrisScience
BrisScience is a monthly lecture series that brings science out of the labs and to the people, making it accessible to all – from scientists, to scientists-at-heart.
Run by The University of Queensland, BrisScience has been delivering engaging lectures on diverse topics from local and international scientists for over a decade.
BrisScience speakers are leaders in their given fields and deliver dynamic presentations based on cutting-edge research.
The University of Queensland has been running BrisScience since 2005, bringing the best and brightest scientific minds to the people of Brisbane – from early career researchers to Nobel Laureates!
