Quantum memory storage on DNA

DNA offers an unprecedented storage density; one gram of DNA can store up to 215 petabytes of data. This makes it an attractive medium for storing large amounts of quantum data, such as the output of quantum random number generators (QRNGs).


Projected Benefits of Achieving DNA-Based Quantum Data Storage

  • Using DNA as a storage medium allows us to preserve massive amounts of quantum data in a fraction of the physical space required today.

  • DNA storage makes it possible to safeguard quantum information for thousands of years without risk of data loss.

  • With DNA, we can store data without continuous energy consumption, marking a major leap toward sustainable quantum technology.

  • By directly integrating DNA with quantum technology, we lay the foundation for entirely new bio-quantum systems that could even function within living organisms.

DNA as a Quantum Processor

In the proposed model, DNA base pairs function as quantum processing units (QPUs). Through proton transfer mechanisms, these base pairs can be brought into superposition states, which are essential for quantum computing.

The dynamic interplay between the canonical and tautomeric states of DNA can be manipulated to encode and process quantum information.

DNA as a Storage Medium

DNA’s three-dimensional structure and inherent stability make it an ideal medium for long-term data storage. Under optimal conditions, DNA can remain stable for thousands of years, making it highly suitable for the archival of quantum data.

Moreover, DNA storage requires minimal energy, contributing significantly to the energy efficiency of data storage systems.

Primary Scientific Objectives

1. How can DNA molecules be engineered to act as stable and scalable quantum processing units under real-world environmental conditions?

2. What are the optimal protocols for encoding and retrieving quantum information within synthetic DNA structures to maximize coherence times?

3. How can nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) techniques be refined to reliably manipulate and read proton spin states in DNA base pairs for quantum computing applications?

4. What methods can be developed to integrate DNA-based quantum storage modules with existing quantum hardware architectures?

5. To what extent can DNA-based data storage be leveraged to securely archive quantum encryption keys and other critical quantum outputs at exabyte scales?
