Quantum physics and molecular biology are two disciplines that have evolved relatively independently. However, recently a wealth of evidence has demonstrated the importance of quantum mechanics for biological systems and thus a new field of quantum biology is emerging. There are many claims that quantum mechanics plays a key role in the origin and/or operation of biological organisms. We consider the nucleonic acid of virus as a quantum system in this paper and discuss virus life cycle from the view-point of quantum and simulate it using quantum gates for the first time. The maximally entangled states show infected cell can change to entire cell, the virus can switch from the lysogenic to the lytic and the prophages can remain latent in the bacterial chromosome for many generations.
量子物理学和分子生物学是两个相对独立发展的学科。然而，最近大量的证据表明量子力学对于生物系统的重要性，因此一个新的量子生物学领域正在出现。有许多说法认为量子力学在生物有机体的起源和/或运作中起着关键作用。在本文中，我们将病毒的核碱基视为一个量子系统，并首次从量子的角度讨论病毒的生命周期，并使用量子门对其进行模拟。最大纠缠态表明感染细胞可以转变为整个细胞，病毒可以从溶原状态转变为裂解状态，原噬菌体可以在细菌染色体中潜伏许多代。
