The utilization of perspective quantum technologies in biomedicine

Abstract

Currently, there is a widespread introduction of quantum technologies in human activity. The prospects of quantum technologies use for the needs of biomedicine are considered. The necessity of the development of new quantum technologies and methods for organizing the processing and analysis of large biomedical data is substantiated. Opportunities and prospects of using modern quantum computers for the needs of biomedicine are being analyzed. The prospects for the use of quantum sensors in biomedicine are discussed. The possibility of using quantum communication lines in the near future to transmit confidential personalized biomedical information is being considered. Prospects for using quantum dots for the purpose of killing both multidrug-resistant bacteria and cancer cells are discussed.

Review—Quantum Biosensors: Principles and Applications in Medical Diagnostics

“…43 The application of such sensors in biomedicine has great promise for identifying abnormalities in the body's complex molecular proteins, which can cause metabolic problems and incite abnormalities in nearby proteins. 44 Carbon nanotubes (CNTs) are hollow tubes with widths of nanometers and lengths of micrometers that are formed by rolling up graphene sheets into cylindrical shapes. Special one-dimensional quantum confinement phenomena lead to remarkable mechanical, optical, and electrical characteristics.…”

Quantum technology for development framework as a tool for science diplomacy

“…SDG 3: QTs have the potential to revolutionize healthcare and medicine (Batool et al, 2022 ; Ur Rasool et al, 2023 ). Quantum sensors can detect and diagnose diseases with unprecedented sensitivity (Tarasov et al, 2020 ). This enables early detection and diagnosis of diseases.…”

“…The QT4D framework can deliver improved healthcare in the Global South by delivering QTs with applications in precision medicine and accurate diagnostic tools and fostering access to healthcare professionals and personalized, affordable treatments. For instance, quantum sensors and imaging can aid in early disease detection (Matea et al, 2017 ; Tarasov et al, 2020 ). Quantum communication through quantum cryptography (Gisin et al, 2002 ; Mafu and Senekane, 2018 ) could ensure that diplomatic dialogues remain confidential, fostering improved candid discussions and trust and strengthening international relations.…”
