Quantum fiber optics in the brain enhance processing, may protect against degenerative diseases

The effects of quantum mechanics—the laws of physics that apply at exceedingly small scales—are extremely sensitive to disturbances. This is why quantum computers must be held at temperatures colder than outer space, ...
