Abstract

This article introduces a novel and comprehensive framework for biological quantum computing, in which nucleotide spin states act as qubits for molecular calculations. By conceptualizing DNA strands as quantum registers, we explore how precise nuclear spin manipulations could enable in vivo computation within biological systems. This work develops a theoretical foundation that integrates quantum mechanics, nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) techniques, and molecular biology. Simulation strategies are proposed to demonstrate the feasibility of encoding, processing, and measuring information directly at the molecular level. Potential applications include adaptive drug design, bioinformatics optimization, molecular cryptography, and intelligent biological systems, laying the groundwork for the ambitious Q-DNA Project.
