  A new concept for bionic quantum technology is presented based on a hybrid of
a silicon wafer on which is layered a phospholipid membrane, such as is found
in biological cell membranes. The phosphorus atoms in the head groups of the
membranes carry nuclear spins which serve as memory qubits. The role of control
qubits may be played by unpaired spins of extra electrons on phosphate groups
with a single negative charge, in polar, zwitterionic headgroups such as
phosphatidylcholine (PC). Classical control gates and circuits are embedded on
the silicon wafer, as in proposals by Kane and others for solid state quantum
computing devices.
  A proposal to extend these ideas to neuronal membranes, which makes use of
the chirality of the phospholipid molecules that make up its bulk, is also
briefly sketched. The chirality of the phospholipid molecules is argued, at
least at low temperature, to induce Chern-Simons couplings, which may give rise
to robust qubits in topological winding states, defined on the cylinder mod
punctures-which are the ion channels.
