The Laboratory is hosted at the Department of Physics at the University of Crete.

Our research interests are centered around the experimental and theoretical aspects of quantum physics dealing with spin degrees of freedom. In particular we have studied quantum fluctuations of the collective spin of alkali vapors, referred to as spin noise. We have recently embarked on a new research direction in the emerging field of quantum biology, the application of quantum information science in biological systems. In particular, we have analyzed the fundamental quantum dynamics of radical-ion-pair reactions, the spin-dependent biochemical reactions underlying the avian compass mechanism.
