Biosensing applications of quantum emitters in diamond and phosphors including virus detection

Abstract

Diamond optical emitters have been explored extensively in recent years for applications to quantum information and processing. In addition, they have been considered for quantum sensing, especially as nanocrystals in biological systems. Supplementing nanodiamonds with upconversion particles opens new opportunities for biosensing. In this talk I will review the basics of sensing with nanodiamonds and nanophosphors in the context of specific applications. Lastly, I will discuss future opportunities for both types of particles toward virus detection.
