The past decade has witnessed remarkable progress in quantum information sciences, made possible in part by advances in materials science, and ultra-sensitive measurement techniques that enable exquisite control of individual quantum entities, e.g., photons, atoms, and spins. As these technologies continue to mature, they are expected to revolutionize computation, metrology, communication, photonics and electronics. In the proposed work, we will apply ultra-sensitive nanowire-based magnetic resonance force microscopya technique pioneered in my groupfor high-resolution imaging and spectroscopy of electron and nuclear spins. ***We are proposing to build the first nanometer scale magnetic resonance imaging (nano-MRI) platform capable of imaging and controlling individual spins in solids. This capability, unique in the world, will allow us to address fundamental problems previously inaccessible using other techniques. In the coming years, nano-MRI will revolutionize structural biology by allowing us to image protein molecules and virus particles with atomic resolution and chemical specificitya capability that will play a crucial role in the development of new drugs and treatments for diseases. Nano-MRI will enable new materials discovery by revealing the organization of spins in nanoscale devices and material interfaces, and help address fundamental questions in quantum information sciences by allowing us to unravel the complex quantum interactions of single spins with their environment. ***The proposed projects require the development of a suite of cutting edge techniques in ultra-sensitive force-detected magnetic resonance spin detection, unique to Canada and the world. The HQP trained on these projects will possess the diverse technical background necessary to secure highly sought after positions in industry and academia. The support provided by NSERC, along side our expertise in nano-MRI, and the extensive capabilities at the Institute for Quantum Computing will ensure Canada's competitive edge in the rapidly developing field of quantum technologies.

在过去的十年里，量子信息科学取得了显著的进步，这在一定程度上是由于材料科学的进步，以及能够精确控制单个量子实体(如光子、原子和自旋)的超灵敏测量技术。随着这些技术的不断成熟，预计它们将给计算、计量、通信、光子学和电子学带来革命性的变化。在拟议的工作中，我们将应用基于超灵敏纳米线的磁共振力显微镜技术，这是我的团队首创的高分辨率电子和核自旋成像和光谱技术。*我们计划建立第一个纳米级磁共振成像(Nano-MRI)平台，能够对固体中的单个自旋进行成像和控制。这种能力在世界上是独一无二的，它将使我们能够使用其他技术解决以前无法解决的根本问题。在接下来的几年里，纳米核磁共振将使结构生物学发生革命性的变化，使我们能够以原子分辨率和化学特异性成像蛋白质分子和病毒颗粒，这将在新药和疾病治疗的开发中发挥关键作用。纳米磁共振成像将通过揭示纳米设备和材料界面中自旋的组织来实现新材料的发现，并通过允许我们揭开单个自旋与其环境的复杂量子相互作用来帮助解决量子信息科学中的基本问题。*拟议的项目需要开发一套加拿大和世界独有的超灵敏测力磁共振自旋检测的尖端技术。在这些项目上接受培训的HQP将拥有在工业界和学术界获得备受欢迎的职位所需的不同技术背景。NSERC提供的支持，加上我们在纳米核磁共振方面的专业知识，以及量子计算研究所的广泛能力，将确保加拿大在快速发展的量子技术领域拥有竞争优势。
