A collection of
 two-level systems has
 accessible states (without superposition) and can register
 bits of information, and in general a system with
 accessible states can register log2 M bits of information. According
to recent findings by the author’s group (1, 17), many protein
polymers comprise enormous networks of such two-level quantum
emitters (a small molecule called tryptophan), and can be treated
effectively as open quantum systems interacting with their
environments. They are therefore subject to similar quantum speed
limits on their computational capacity and exhibit observable quantum
enhancements, even at thermal equilibrium or at high temperatures
where the quantum-to-classical transition takes place. These protein
polymers, which are ubiquitous across all eukaryotic and even some
bacterial species, exhibit superradiance (18) in the single-photon
limit, where sharing a single photon coherently across n quantum
emitters increases the spontaneous emission rate from γ for the
single emitter up to a maximum of nγ for the collective.
Single-photon superradiance (19) is thus a distinctively quantum
effect, which will be shown to drastically increase estimates for the
computational capacity of neural and aneural organisms.

It's pretty far-out, but if tryptophan does indeed have the property
the author claims, this could be a revolutionary discovery.
