Most quantum biosensing applications must work within biologically relevant temperatures. Under these conditions, the biological mess bombards the sensor with information and noise. Thus, maintaining the sensor’s coherence is one of quantum biosensing’s key challenges. The other is isolating or interpreting signals, distinguishing noise from what operators want to measure.
