DESCRIPTION:Titel: From Quantum Technologies for the Life Sciences to 
 Molecular Quantum Bits for Quantum Computing Abstract: Nuclear Magneti
 c Resonance (NMR) is a widely used spectroscopic technique in biology 
 and the life sciences\, with applications ranging from chemical analys
 is and drug discovery to medical imaging. Despite its versatility\, NM
 R suffers from inherent sensitivity limitations. These arise primarily
  from the weak nuclear spin polarization at thermal equilibrium\, typi
 cally only a few parts per million\, as well as from the inefficiencie
 s of inductive NMR signal detection. In this colloquium\, I will discu
 ss strategies for overcoming these limitations using quantum technolog
 ies. In particular\, I will show how optically detected magnetic reson
 ance\, based on color centers in diamond\, enables the detection of NM
 R signals with chemical-shift resolution at the nano- and microscale. 
 Achieving this goal\, however\, requires additional advances\, and I w
 ill explain how quantum control can be used to facilitate nuclear spin
  hyperpolarization\, leading to NMR signal enhancements of up to four 
 orders of magnitude. Combined with advanced signal-processing methods\
 , these approaches open up the possibility of metabolic NMR profiling 
 of single cells\, as well as metabolic magnetic resonance imaging in h
 umans. Such techniques could have important applications in early trea
 tment assessment in cancer care using standard clinical MRI scanners. 
 If time allows\, I will also offer a glimpse into the future: how the 
 lessons learned from tailoring molecules and controlling their interna
 l interactions may enable a new physical platform for quantum computin
 g based on molecular qubits. Sprecher / Speaker: Prof. Dr. Martin B. P
