DESCRIPTION:Speakers: David Simpson (School of Physics\, The University of
  Melbourne)\, Liam Hall (School of Physics\, The University of Melbourne)\
 , Jean-Philippe Tetienne (Centre of Excellence for Quantum Computation and
  Communication Technology\, The University of Melbourne)\, Lloyd Hollenber
 g (Thomas Baker Chair\, School of Physics\, The University of Melbourne)\,
  Alastair Stacey (Centre of Excellence for Quantum Computation and Communi
 cation Technology\, The University of Melbourne)\n\nQuantum technologies p
 romise exciting and transformative futures in many areas of human endeavou
 r. An example is the field of bio-sensing\, where quantum probes are alrea
 dy being used to answer fundamental questions about living cells. In these
  applications diamond often takes centre stage\, as a material which simul
 taneously exhibits both bio-friendly and quantum-friendly properties. This
  presentation will review efforts to exploit diamond for quantum bio-sensi
 ng applications\, encompassing practical cellular measurements to the deve
 lopment of fundamentally new sensing techniques. In particular\, I will ad
 dress the biggest materials challenge we currently face\, which is the pre
 sence of uncontrolled defects at the solid state surface\, and detail the 
 use of surface science techniques\, based at the Australian Synchrotron\, 
 to understand and re-engineer this important quantum/life interface.\n\nht
