Fluorescent proteins based on fluorescent proteins made by bioluminescent crystal jelly can be used as quantum sensors

Quantum sensors made from glowing proteins can be produced by living cells and could be used to more accurately measure small changes in the body. This could one day help detect diseases early or track how cells form.
Sensors based on the quantum mechanical properties of spin can measure temperature, magnetic fields, and other phenomena with much greater sensitivity than traditional devices. They have already been shown to function in living animals, such as detecting magnetism…
