That's because qubits enjoy another weird quantum property called entanglement, which is a bit like the spooky intuition twin siblings claim to enjoy even when they're apart. Just as one twin (supposedly) knows when the other is in distress, even when they're many miles away, so entangled...
is that it does it via something called quantum entanglement. Inside the robin's retina -- I kid you not -- inside the robin's retina is a protein called cryptochrome, which is light-sensitive. Within cryptochrome, a pair of electrons are quantum-entangled. Now, qua...
Quantum biology asks a very simple question: Does quantum mechanics -- that weird and wonderful and powerful theory of the subatomic world of atoms and molecules that underpins so much of modern physics and chemistry -- also play a role inside the living cell? In other words: Are there ...
