... 11:15 Keynote Address: Quantum Concepts in Biology Thorsten Ritz, University of California, Irvine 11:45 Keynote Address: New Quantum Theory Applications for Biology Marlan Scully, Texas A&M University 12:15 Break 12:20 Session 1: Probing Intracellular and Intercellular Correlations in Biology Description: Biological systems are characterized by the dynamic organization of multiscale physical processes in nonequilibrium environments. Sensing and imaging tools derived from terahertz spectroscopy, fluorescence correlation spectroscopy, optogenetics, nuclear magnetic resonance, and various arenas of quantum information science are important to understanding these characterizations.

... Moderator: Clarice Aiello, University of California, Los Angeles Panelists: Michael Levin, Tufts University Margaret Ahmad, Sorbonne University Douglas Wallace, University of Pennsylvania Wendy Beane, Western Michigan University 2:25 Break 2:30 Session 3: Quantum Photonics in Biological Systems Description: Quantum optics and photonics intersect at various scales in biological systems. Related to this, scientists are seeking to unravel the role of coherence in the spatial and temporal dynamics of these systems.

... This session will explore advances in using quantum-enabled microscopy to understand properties of biological systems, as well as the potential that exists in applying emerging microscopy technologies to explore different biological entities. Moderator: Prem Kumar, Northwestern University Panelists: Theodore Goodson III, University of Michigan Ted Laurence, Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory Melissa Skala, University of Wisconsin–Madison (replaced by Kevin Eliceiri, University of Wisconsin– Madison, during the workshop)

Moderator: Prineha Narang, Harvard University Panelists: Prem Kumar, Northwestern University Philip Hemmer, Texas A&M University Kim Lewis, Howard University Michelle O'Malley, University of California, Santa Barbara 1:55 Break 2:00 Session 6: Ultrafast Spectroscopy and Biological Reporters Description: Networks of aromatic molecules, characterized by specific delocalized charge responses, are ubiquitous in biology. The fundamental principles of fluorescence for these quantum reporters of biological behavior have been understood for decades.

... This session will examine new and emerging approaches to plant imaging that exist on either side of the quantum–classical boundary, with an effort to explore as-yet unattainable information that may be found using quantum approaches. Moderator: Jason West, Texas A&M University Panelists: Ross Sozzani, North Carolina State University Keiko Torii, The University of Texas at Austin Christopher Topp, Donald Danforth Plant Research Center 12:45 Break 1:00 Session 8: Measurement and Sensing Needs for Microbial Communities Description: This session will discuss the critical knowledge gaps in our understanding of functionality and interactions in environmental microbiomes and current limitations of existing imaging techniques -- specifically time resolution, 3D imaging, molecular sensitivity, and phototoxicity -- that could be overcome with quantum approaches.
