Quantum information storage on subradiant states in a biological centriole

The centriole, a highly ordered microtubule-based organelle, offers a unique architecture for exploring quantum information storage through subradiant states. Leveraging the collective dipole interactions of aromatic residues within its nine-fold symmetric structure of cylindrical sub-wavelength arrays, centrioles can support the formation of subradiant states that exhibit long lifetimes due to their weak interaction with the electromagnetic field. These subradiant modes provide a promising platform for robust quantum information storage resistant to environmental decoherence and structural disorder. We will discuss the theoretical basis for subradiant state formation in centrioles, the implications for quantum memory devices, and the practical challenges of realizing stable quantum information storage in biological systems. Our findings suggest that centrioles, with their organized nanoscale geometry, can serve as natural candidates for scalable, long-lived quantum information storage solutions, and as inspiration for organic molecular quantum architectures.
