The Problem

The existing generation of biological sensors has undeniably transformed research, environmental monitoring, and healthcare. However, current sensors often lack the requisite sensitivity, suffer from slow response times, and are optimised for only a single target which limits their efficacy [6].

The Solution

Quantum biosensors offer a revolutionary solution to the challenges of biological monitoring. By leveraging the principles of quantum mechanics, these biosensors provide unparalleled sensitivity, enabling the precise identification of biomolecules even at extremely low
concentrations. The real-time monitoring capabilities of quantum biosensors and the portability of these sensors supports point-of-care testing, particularly in resource-limited areas. Also, quantum biosensors play a crucial role in environmental monitoring and advance biological research, offering insights into molecular processes and aiding drug development for more effective healthcare solutions.
