Quantum control algorithm looks to explain how birds migrate
Birds' ability to sense magnetic fields during migration is one of the best-known mysteries in this field, with leading theories suggesting that this sensing could be achieved by exploiting quantum entanglement.
AI Summary
Researchers at the Okinawa Institute of Science and Technology proved a mathematical principle that optimizes control of quantum systems. The finding is relevant to theories that birds sense Earth’s magnetic field through quantum entanglement. By establishing how to best manipulate quantum states, the work brings the avian magnetoreception hypothesis closer to experimental testing. The results also suggest new biological platforms for quantum computing, according to a study published in the journal Quantum.
