What if we might exactly measure a cell at its most elementary degree?
College of Chicago scientist Peter Maurer, together with colleagues at UChicago’s Pritzker College of Molecular Engineering, made a breakthrough discovery of turning a protein present in residing cells right into a first-of-its-kind organic quantum bit—also called a qubit.
On this episode of the Massive Brains podcast, Maurer explains how quantum techniques—as soon as considered too fragile for real-world use—have gotten a few of the strongest sensors ever constructed, and the way they might detect illnesses earlier and monitor how they evolve in our our bodies:
