Protein-based quantum bits (qubits) could be the key to accelerating biological research at the smallest of scales, thanks to a new scientific breakthrough.
Researchers from the University of Chicago have discovered a way to turn a fluorescent protein into a biological qubit that can be built directly inside a cell, then used as a way to detect magnetic and electrical signals within the cell. This breakthrough was detailed in a paper published Aug. 20 in the journal Nature.
