Benchmarking Biomaterials for Quantum Information Processing

ORAL

Abstract

Recent theories predict the possibility of quantum processing using phosphorus nuclear spins in the human brain, which need to be confirmed experimentally through various phase coherence experiments. The results from Nuclear Magnetic Resonance (NMR) measurements of T2 and T2* on various phosphate compounds in different chemical environments will be explored. The aim of this research is to delineate the influence of molarity, molecular correlation time, and dipole-dipole interaction through NMR, and to learn how these parameters can be used to manipulate correlation times between phosphorus spins. Theoretical models of these influences will also be discussed. Lastly, experimental results on the effects of quantum coherence and its implications on quantum information processing in biological systems will be discussed.
