VLADIVOSTOK, Feb. 13 (Xinhua) -- Russian scientists have started experiments with quantum technologies for the diagnosis and treatment of cancer, local media reported on Tuesday, citing a report from the Future Technologies Forum 2024.
"The potential of quantum technologies in general and quantum computers, in particular, is not yet fully revealed, but they will definitely find their use in medicine," says the analytical report titled "Quantum Technologies for Medicine."
The two-day forum, which kicked off in Moscow on Tuesday, will focus on the future of medicine.
"The method of genome assembly using quantum algorithms, developed by the Russian Quantum Center, the company Quboard and the company Genotek, significantly facilitated the study of new species and structural changes in DNA, which cannot be detected by mapping, and genomic rearrangements in cancer cells," said the report.
"The potential of quantum machine learning can be used to discover new biomarkers for cancer treatment. Several studies in the field of quantum machine learning are aimed at studying genetic diseases -- quantum algorithms have been developed that can classify genomic data much faster than a conventional computer," it said.
The report also named highly sensitive quantum magnetic field sensors among the most promising areas. "With the help of quantum sensors, it is possible to measure and visualize biomagnetic fields, which in the future will make it possible to diagnose brain tumors, epilepsy and Alzheime's syrndrome non-invasively and with greater accuracy than existing methods such as EEG and MRI," it added.
However, quantum technologies also pose new threats, particularly related to access to personal data. To protect information in the conditions of the existence of a quantum computer, it is necessary to introduce post-quantum cryptographic algorithms, which will keep secret the data over which calculations are performed, the authors emphasize. ■
VLADIVOSTOK, Februari 13 (Reuters) - Wanasayansi wa Urusi wameanza majaribio ya teknolojia ya quantum kwa utambuzi na matibabu ya saratani, vyombo vya habari vya ndani viliripoti Jumanne, vikinukuu ripoti kutoka kwa Mkutano wa Teknolojia ya Baadaye 2024. "Uwezo wa teknolojia ya quantum kwa ujumla na kompyuta ya quantum, hasa, bado haijafunuliwa kikamilifu, lakini bila shaka zitakuwa na matumizi katika dawa, ""alisema ripoti ya uchambuzi yenye kichwa ""Teknolojia ya Quantum kwa ajili ya Tiba.""" Mkutano huo wa siku mbili, ambao ulianza siku ya Jumanne mjini Moscow, utazingatia siku zijazo za dawa. "Utaratibu wa kukusanya genome kwa kutumia algorithms quantum, iliyoundwa na Kituo cha Urusi cha Quantum, kampuni ya Quboard na kampuni ya Genetics, imefanya iwe rahisi sana kujifunza aina mpya na mabadiliko ya muundo wa DNA ambayo hayawezi kugunduliwa kwa ramani, na marekebisho ya genome katika seli za saratani. """ "Uwezo wa kujifunza kwa mashine ya quantum unaweza kutumiwa kugundua viashiria vipya vya matibabu ya kansa. "Utafiti wa mashine ya quantum una lengo la kuchunguza magonjwa ya urithi, na algorithms za quantum zimetengenezwa ambazo zinaweza kuorodhesha data ya genome kwa kasi zaidi kuliko kompyuta ya kawaida. """ Ripoti hiyo pia ilitaja sensorer zenye hisia-mwenzi sana za uwanja wa sumaku wa quantum miongoni mwa maeneo yenye matumaini zaidi. "Kwa msaada wa sensorer za quantum, inawezekana kupima na kuona mashamba ya biomagnetic, ambayo katika siku zijazo itafanya iwezekane kugundua uvimbe wa ubongo, kifafa na ugonjwa wa Alzheimers kwa njia isiyo ya uvamizi na kwa usahihi mkubwa kuliko mbinu zilizopo kama vile EEG na MRI. """ Hata hivyo, teknolojia za quantum pia zinaweka vitisho vipya, hasa vinavyohusiana na upatikanaji wa data za kibinafsi. "Kwa habari katika hali ya kuwepo kwa kompyuta quantum, ni muhimu kuanzisha baada ya quantum cryptographic algorithms, ambayo itaweka siri data ambayo mahesabu ni kufanyika. """ ■
