Remove the quantum medical "quantum" hat "

Quantum mechanics is a branch of physics that describes the micro-world. Together with the theory of relativity, quantum mechanics is considered as two basic pillars of modern physics. Many theories and sciences of physics, such as atomic physics, solid state physics, nuclear physics and particle physics, All are based on quantum mechanics.

Quantum mechanics also provide people with new ways of expressing and thinking about nature. The effect of quantum mechanics plays an important role in many modern technological equipments. Such as laser, the electron microscope, atomic clock, are mainly rely on the principles and effects of quantum mechanics, human beings in the invention of nuclear weapons and nuclear power plant, the concept of quantum mechanics also played a key role.

However, not all disciplines can superstitious "quantum" aura. In fact, Quantum Medicine is one of them because many people are not sufficiently aware of the concept of quantum and "quantum" has gradually become the "high-cap" that is used by the users. Many people are indubitable.

Quantum medicine is desirable

In an introduction to the encyclopedia entry website, "Quantum Medicine" is described as "a brand new discipline based on the interaction between electromagnetic radiation and the human, animal and plant world. The essence of quantum medicine is the electromagnetic field, Measurement, and analysis of organisms released by the vibration frequency of the size (that is, weak magnetic field wave energy), the diagnosis and treatment of medicine, also known as wave medicine. "And claimed:" To establish a "quantum medicine", we must break the macro into the micro To study the living body, such as quantum biology research, from the quantum level to master the law of quantum changes in the disease, such as the quantum level of quantum movement changes to diagnose and treat diseases.

In the so-called "quantum medicine" theory, the core point is that "all living organisms carry a very weak magnetic field" and "bring this difference in the weak magnetic field energy with different health or disease information Weak magnetic field energy to be quantified, you can use specialized equipment to measure illness and health of electromagnetic radiation to determine the prevalence. "

In this "ideal" state, "Quantum medicine" has the advantage of not only being invasive but also avoiding the disadvantages of invasive and destructive treatment such as blood drawing and surgical incision, which focuses on the concept of holistic treatment, Also contribute to the treatment of systemic disease efficacy is stable and thorough.

There are even more ridiculous claims that the use of quantum detection methods can also "diagnose various forms of human brain waves to understand the mental state of people, such as judgment, memory and so on."

In addition, "Quantum Medicine" in the "quantum resonance detection" claim that you can also early detection of the body's sub-health status. Its method is more "superb": "Detection of water in human urine and hair through quantum resonance detection equipment - they have the whole body of the wave energy information, equal to the detection of the general condition of the human, can capture the sub-health conditions weak Abnormal changes in the magnetic field. "

Quantum medicine is far-fetched

"Quantum medicine" so attractive, then the actual situation is what kind of it? "China Science News" reporter successively to the Chinese Academy of Sciences, Guo Guangcan, director of Key Laboratory of Quantum Information of Chinese Academy of Sciences, Zhang Jun, vice president of Xiamen University School of Public Health and deputy director of the large surgical department of Fudan University Cancer Hospital Yingqiang card, but it is a Negative response.

"I do not agree with the so-called quantum medicine, the current human research did not reach the level of micro-particles, how can we just talk about the treatment of the problem?" Guo Guangcan told reporters from the Quantum Medicine related statements, does not involve quantum phenomena. As for the saying that "organisms have a weak magnetic field", Guo Guangcan said that the magnetic field is obviously a concept in the category of classical mechanics. He said that a weak magnetic field is a "quantum phenomenon" and half-jokingly said: "He can be said to be quantum, I can also say that it is not quantum. "

"From a quantum theory point of view, I do not think that modern medicine has been studied at the quantum level." Guo Guangcan told reporters that there is simply no set theory that can shed light on the relationship between disease and quantum in human beings. "Quantum medicine What is the relationship between quantum and disease? There is no clear explanation. "

Even for a long time, "Quantum Biology", Guo Guangzhou also pointed out that at present people's understanding of the concept of "profound Hymn peace", but also did not recognize the level of understanding the law. At the same time, he suggested that journalists prove to medical experts.

When a reporter called Zhang Jun and Ying Shiqiang when the reporter heard almost the same answer: "I was the first time I heard about the concept of quantum medicine, do not understand its meaning." Ying Yingqiang is a series of repeated a few Everywhere I said I did not hear about it and confirmed to my colleagues around me, I got the same answer.

So in the medical through the human body weak magnetic field measurement and analysis, used to diagnose the disease situation? Zhang Jun said he had never heard of it before, but the British teacher said "this more profound."

Or, a blog posted by Sun Xuejun, a well-known blogger at ScienceNet, can explain some problems. He wrote in his post entitled "Science cannot be but Knowledge": "Quantum mechanics is a profound science in physics. 

Some people put this The introduction of the concept of physics into medicine, the establishment of the so-called quantum medicine, and the organic combination of traditional Chinese medicine, creatively invented a lot of quantum drugs.

If you do not go deep into the study, feeling very mysterious ... ... the phenomenon of life is essentially a chemical event, not Need to analyze biological phenomena in the quantum category, at least most of the laws of biology do not need quantum mechanics. If you really have quantum medicine, should also have quantum biology, quantum cytometry, quantum molecular biology of these systems ... 
... Schrödinger In Quantum Mechanics, "Quantum Mechanics" was used to describe the essence of genes. It seems that Quantum Mechanics laid the foundation for life sciences.

 If Schrödinger knew that his descendants took this science lecture as proof of a discipline, Is that happy, or the helplessness of so-called quantum medicine, from personal understanding, Feeling is a scientific superstition, superstition or science. "
