Scientists from the University of the Basque Country created a life simulation on a quantum computer. In a new study, described in the article of Scientific Reports journal, scientists tried to apply the same unpredictability to computer simulations, reports Naked-science..

"The goal of the proposed model is to reproduce the characteristic Darwinian evolution processes adapted to the language of quantum algorithms and quantum computing," said researchers from the University of the Basque Country in Spain..

Using the IBM QX4 quantum computer, scientists coded units of quantum life consisting of two qubits: one is the genotype (the genetic code passed down through generations), the other is the phenotype (external manifestation of this code, or "body").

These units were programmed for reproduction, mutation, development, and death, with partial use of entanglement like real living beings.. Random changes were introduced through rotations of quantum states, for example, to simulate mutations.

The model also coincides with a study previously published by the same team, in which natural selection, training, and memory were imitated in a theoretical quantum model..

"The question of whether the origin of life is truly quantum-mechanical in nature, we leave open.

We have proven that microscopic quantum systems can effectively encrypt quantum signs and biological behavior that are commonly associated with living systems and natural selection, "the report says..

The Plant Genetic Modification Program of the United States Agency for Advanced Defense Development (DARPA) can be used to develop a new type of biological weapon.

Earlier in China, scientists developed and built a quantum radar capable of detecting aerial targets at long distances..
