Chapter 132 The Quantum Leap

• Emma's unforeseen discovery of a mathematical pattern that could revolutionise quantum computing stemmed from her molecular exploration of butterfly wing structures, showing how interdisciplinary thinking can result in breakthrough innovations that cross traditional academic boundaries and challenge fundamental assumptions about the nature of computation.
• Emma made the discovery while researching the nanostructures that cause butterfly wing colours using sophisticated microscopy. Her creative eye recognised tiny patterns in the molecular arrangements that reminded her of mathematical sequences she had discovered during her theoretical physics studies with Dr. Chen.
• Emma's examination of these patterns revealed that butterfly wings use quantum mechanical principles to achieve their vibrant colours and structural stability. Natural systems evolved computational methods that were significantly more efficient than today's artificial quantum systems.
