Study Finds Cells May Compute Faster Than Today’s Quantum Computers
SMRTR summary
The Science Advances study suggests cells may use quantum mechanisms for ultra-fast information processing. Researchers identified superradiant quantum effects in tryptophan-containing proteins, enabling picosecond-scale information transfer in biological environments. This implies eukaryotic cells might perform quantum information processing rivaling current quantum error correction methods. The findings could impact our understanding of biological information processing, evolution, and the search for extraterrestrial life.
