Quantum Entanglement in Our Brains

Popular Mechanics US

January - February 2025

IT HAS LONG BEEN ARGUED THAT THE human brain is similar to a computer. But in reality, that's selling the brain pretty short.

Quantum Entanglement in Our Brains

While comparing neurons and transistors is a convenient metaphor (and not completely out of left field), the brain is ultraefficient, its energy is renewable, and it's capable of computational feats that even the most advanced computer can't pull off. In many ways, the inner workings of the human brain make up an unknown computational frontier.

Although your brain is superior to your laptop or even the world's most advanced supercomputer these machines run on classical physics. But there's another kind of computer out there: a quantum one.

Why Orange Cats Exist

GARFIELD MIGHT BE THE MOST ICONIC orange tabby cat around, but he has so far refused to give up orange tabbies' most guarded beauty secret-how do they get their auburn coats? Hiroyuki Sasaki, a cat enthusiast and geneticist at Kyushu University in Japan, was determined to identify the elusive gene that carries the orange mutation in Felis silvestris catus (the domesticated cat).
