Quantum Computing
hi
i’m tanvika boineni and i’m currently a
junior at the south brunswick high
school
today i will be talking about how
quantum computing is our future
as technology continues to advance every
single day
quantum computing will have an extremely
profound
impact on our society in multiple
different aspects
for example it can affect cryptography
optimization
and stimulation just to name a few
but first what exactly is a quantum
computer
a quantum computer is a device that can
perform
complex calculations that a regular
computer cannot
quantum computers utilize qubits to
perform these calculations
this means that the quantum computer can
perform calculations
based on the probability of an object
state before
it is even measured each object in a
normal computer for example
has a binary state of either a one or a
zero
in a quantum computer these qubits can
represent both a one
and a zero at the same time and this is
called superposition
additionally the computer itself does
not look like the average computer you
have lying around at your house
it’s shaped almost like a chandelier and
consists of copper
tubes and wires these computers are also
placed in extremely cold temperatures
close to absolute zero
in order for the qubits to work for a
long period of time
at a young age i’ve always been
interested and involved in computer
science
and computational thinking as i grew up
i want to learn more about how exactly
these computers work and how they can be
improved
these questions that i started to
develop helped me discover
my passion for quantum computing
i have decided to pursue quantum
computing as a career
because it can revolutionize our daily
lives
i’m currently researching how to create
a quantum brain for medicine that can
also do predictive modeling
the purpose of this brain would be to
use predictive modeling
and statistics in order to help out
surgeons
minimize the amount of invasive
surgeries that currently occur
it would be linked to bots inside the
body
do predictive modeling from the
information and also assess the
information gathered by the bots
as the bot is injected it collects data
as it flows through the bloodstream
and can detect anomalies in the body
such as
nerve bundles chronic pain and tumors
and then send that information back to
the quantum brain
where it can help diagnose what exactly
is happening within the body
with my quantum brain i would like to
incorporate cyberplasm
and magnetic resonance in order to make
this work
cyberplasm is a microbot that is
currently used to enter the body and
detect diseases
this microbot mimics the behavior of a
sea lamprey in order to move about the
body
once it has entered the body it uses an
electronic impulse to collect data
and then sends it to the brain to help
diagnose
the brain then sends information back to
the microbot to help it navigate through
the body
the brain and the microbot send
information back and forth to each other
until the microbot is done with its
purpose and flushed out
magnetic resonance also uses the quantum
properties of a brain to detect diseases
in the human body
without the need for any surgery one
limitation that i must overcome for the
quantum brain to diagnose illnesses
are the parallel computations that the
brain must run
i’m currently in contact with dr brad
martin
head of ai in r d information research
at abbey to try
and figure out a way to go about this
issue
this project is considered an evolution
in medicine
since using a quantum brain will make
diagnosing illnesses
a faster and much more convenient way
using microbots to go into the body and
detect information
also allows anomalies in the body to be
detected without any major surgery
coordination and swarm intelligence are
also keys to having my quantum brain in
perfect sync
with the bots that i use xenobots are
small synthetic robots that are designed
by computers to perform
a specific purpose xenobots are
considered the first living creatures
that have no
brain and are controlled by a computer
nanobots could also be used to perform
certain actions
as well as collecting information
nanobots can be used to remove plaque
from veins
and inject blood clotting drugs into
vessels around
tumors the weiss institute at harvard
university is currently researching
how these nanotechnological devices can
be used for drug delivery
they state that the nanobots that they
have created will soon be used to
deliver
antigens and other biologically active
molecules in the human body
the weiss institute intends to use these
nanobots primarily to deliver
cancer vaccines for my
project i aim for these bots to be
injected into
the bloodstream by being coated with the
enzyme urease
this allows the bots to use urea from
the urine
as a source of fuel as it travels
through the body
the coordination and swarms of bots are
important because
it allows the bots to travel complex
paths throughout the body and treat
certain
pathologies that cannot be treated with
just one single bot
the activity of these bots will then be
monitored by my quantum brain
my brain will be able to analyze
information given the data that the bots
send
this data will be stored by being
encoded into the qubits
my brain will also be able to calculate
different possibilities
on how the bots can navigate navigate
through the body and send that
information to the bots
my research shows just how impactful
quantum computing is
in just one aspect of medicine it can
change the lives of so many
additionally quantum computing can aid
the medical field in both drug
development
and drug discovery quantum computing can
benefit the pharmaceutical field
because it can design new drugs in a
more faster and reliable way
the computers can be used to analyze
individual molecules and come up with
the prescription
through calculations this allows
treatments for harmful diseases to be
created in a short time manner
and benefit many seeing the impact that
quantum computing has just on the
medical field
imagine how greatly it can affect other
industries
i hope sharing my research and dreams
will help you visualize a quantum future
and make you want to journey with me as
we all together evolve
to create this new world that has just
survived thank you so much
