Because an electron is small enough for quantum effects to be routine, it is perfectly possible for such a spin to be pointing up and down at the same time.

ECONOMIST: Quantum computing

This is just one more piece of evidence in an interesting set of biological theorists over the past couple of decades in a variety of fields trying to demonstrate that quantum effects do make a difference in biological processes.

FORBES: When Biology and Quantum Physics Collide

The result is a much greater density of the gates, lower power consumption, faster switching and fewer quantum side-effects.

FORBES: The Future Still Lives

Ashleigh Griffin ( 2008 FWIS Fellow), Elizabeth Murchison ( 2009 FWIS Fellow), Araxi Urrutia ( 2007 FWIS Fellow) and Patricia Alireza ( 2009 FWIS Fellow) provided fascinating insights into their work on the behaviour of bacteria living in the lungs of cystic fibrosis patients, transmissible cancers in Tasmanian Devils, human gene and genome evolution and the effects of high pressure at quantum level.

The head of the Quantum Fund profits from the free market but worries about its side effects.
