qLIFE is the first international conference series dedicated to quantum technologies in the life sciences. It seeks to foster a cross-disciplinary community to spark innovation, support the development of quantum tools tailored for life science applications, cultivate emerging talent, deepen our understanding of biological systems, and accelerate translation into real-world impact.
qLIFE is organised by four leading organisations at the interface of quantum and bioscience: the Australian Research Council Centre of Excellence in Quantum Biotechnology (QUBIC, Australia), the UK Quantum Biomedical Sensing Research Hub (Q-BIOMED, UK), the Centre for Quantum Bioscience (ZQB, Germany), and the NSF Quantum Leap Challenge Institute for Quantum Sensing for Biophysics and Bioengineering (NSF QuBBE, US).
