@uncover.quantum: Researchers at the University of Chicago turned a fluorescent protein into a working quantum bit — and even produced it inside living cells. The protein can hold and manipulate a quantum spin state while surrounded by the warm, noisy environment of biology — something that is normally very difficult for qubits. The biggest promise isn’t a protein-powered quantum computer yet. It’s ultra-small quantum sensors that could one day measure what is happening inside living cells with incredible precision. A real step toward bringing quantum technology and biology together. 📚 Source: Nature | University of Chicago #QuantumPhysics #QuantumBiology #Qubits #Biotechnology #Science
