Number of potential therapies that could arise from the deterministic control of weak magnetic fields
Market cap of existing companies that use weak magnetic fields without knowing how they work
Number of $ spent on Quantum Biology each year by NSF and NIH
Quantum biology unlocks a fundamentally new way to actuate on biology. Understanding the possible quantum-driven behaviors of biological systems could aid in treating injuries or in developing cures for diseases.
Weak magnetic fields influence biological cells and there is strong circumstantial evidence that the mechanism is quantum. Quantum consciousness will have to come later; the actual quantum story is that by understanding the physics behind weak magnet...
Our technologies allow us to determine if biological processes are controlled by weak magnetic fields and if such chemical reactions are driven by electron spin. If successful, this would mean that spin superpositions survive the wet, hot environment of the cell for long enough to influence function. The applications of this discovery would revolutionize therapeutics, human medicine, and even space travel.
When a "key" molecule "locks" into another molecule, this coupling is thought to have a specific vibrational signature called phonons. Phonons influence a number of molecular properties, including how viruses attach to cells, how neurotransmitters are received by a target cell, and how enzymes catalyze reactions. We apply quantum technology to further understand the relationship between particular phonon energies and molecular recognition.
Chiral-induced spin selectivity is a recently discovered phenomenon that describes how nature has an electron spin preference during electron transport. We use quantum technology to study the transport of electrons with spin "up" or "down", as well as spins in a superposition of both "up" and "down." Advancements in this area will open the door for new quantum technologies inspired by nature.
