cpheinrich··on Quantum cognition via neural qubits in human brain
While any proposal for finding quantum computing in the brain should be met with skepticism, this paper by a very well respected physicist does an excellent job of exploring one possible route to quantum computing in the brain. It will be up to experiments to add strength to, or disprove, this claim.
cpheinrich··on The quantum internet has arrived (and it hasn’t)
If you wish to transmit quantum information then you need a quantum link (or entanglement plus a classical link -- google quantum teleportation). One use case is to do distributed quantum computing -- if the quantum computers are not colocated then they will need to be connected with some sort of quantum network
cpheinrich··on The quantum internet has arrived (and it hasn’t)
I think the idea is that if you want to transmit quantum information you need a quantum internet.

There are many cases where you would want to transmit quantum information besides using it as an encryption scheme. For example, if a scientist wants to run a quantum simulation in the cloud, and then they want the quantum state to be communicated back to their local quantum machine _without_ collapsing the wave function, then you would need some kind of quantum link to do so. If you want to send it through the classical internet you would have to collapse the wave function and send classical information.
