About


Dr. Nathan S. Babcock is a distinguished expert in the quantum sciences, with over two decades of research experience in quantum physics, spin chemistry, and molecular biology. His academic journey began at the University of Waterloo in Ontario where he wrote his undergraduate thesis at the Perimeter Institute for Theoretical Physics and carried out research in quantum computation at the Institute for Quantum Computing. He proceeded to complete his graduate studies at the University of Calgary in Alberta, where he carried out joint research in quantum information science and molecular biophysics at the Institute for Quantum Science and Technology and the Centre for Molecular Simulation. After completing his PhD in Physics, Dr. Babcock further advanced his understanding of the intricate relationship between quantum mechanics and biological processes through postdoctoral research in structural biology at Simon Fraser University in British Columbia. His research then led him to explore spin chemistry, conducting groundbreaking studies on radical electron pair models of avian magnetoreception at the Living Systems Institute at the University of Exeter in the UK. Dr. Babcock continued to refine his expertise in open quantum systems by investigating the quantum mechanical phenomenon of superradiance in cytoskeletal microtubules with the Quantum Biology Laboratory at Howard University in Washington, DC. His innovative research on quantum effects in microtubules garnered attention from news articles, blogs, and science commentators around the world. He has delivered many invited lectures at conferences and universities internationally. He is the co-author of over a dozen peer-reviewed scientific articles as well as a forthcoming scientific monograph on the Physical Principles of Quantum Biology.
