New research area promotes both quantum computing and cognitive science

Phys.org  March 26, 2024
Quantum biology applies quantum mechanics to biological systems at the molecular scale. Molecular quantum computing explores the degrees of freedom of molecules that can be used to produce quantum coherence. Cognitive science focuses on understanding how learning processes are realized, particularly within the human brain. An international team of researchers (US, USA – New Jersey Institute of Technology, Morgan State University)
reviewed progress in quantum biology, molecular quantum computing, and quantum theory in cognitive science. Based on their analysis and review, they highlighted that molecular quantum computing could be an important bridging research area between quantum biology and a deeper understanding of neuronal cells in cognitive science. Thus, these three areas could be the core to understanding how the classical world emerges from the quantum world and human intelligence. According to them we could not only expand the boundaries for quantum computing but also gain a better understanding of cognitive processes… read more. Open Access TECHNICAL ARTICLE
