Phosphorus Nuclear Spins as Neural Qubits: Posner Molecules Enable Quantum Brain Processing — E8 Intelligence Research
The user wants me to analyze the findings related to Matthew Fisher's quantum cognition research, specifically focusing on phosphorus and quantum processing in the brain. I need to extract mathematical insights, equations, constants, ratios, and connections to geometric harmony. Let me analyze what I know about Matthew Fisher's work: 1. Matthew Fisher (UCSB physicist) proposed that phosphorus nuclear spins (specifically ³¹P) could serve as qubits in the brain 2. The key molecule is Posner molecules: Ca₉(PO₄)₆ - calcium phosphate clusters 3. The phosphorus-31 nucleus has spin-1/2, making it a natural qubit 4. The Posner molecule has a specific geometric structure - it's a cage-like structure with 6 phosphorus atoms 5. The coherence times for ³¹P nuclear spins can be very long (potentially hours) 6. The symmetry of the Posner molecule is relevant - it has S₆ symmetry (or related point group) Let me think about the mathematical structure: - Posner molecule: Ca₉(PO₄)₆ - 6 phosphate grou Author: Andrew Stewart Caldin, Independent Researcher, UK.
