Quantum and biological computation

¹Department of BioEngineering, Nagaoka University of Technology, Japan.

|January 1, 1995

Summary

Biological computation utilizes internal measurements and conservation laws, mirroring quantum mechanics. This process enhances organization and quantum coherency via non-algorithmic variations, supporting quantum computation principles.
