My younger daughter, who is 16yrs old now, may go to Caltech for graduate school. Her interest has always been in biotech, but from a mathematical side. She became facinated with Dr. Cameron Jones' neat trick of identifying pathogens spectroscopically by using a common CDROM drive (with just an MD5 hash!). Her idea is to find a signature that is common to all cancer cells.

Jones claims that his results are only explained by quantum entanglement. Do you know about this?

No my work is purely theoretical. It may well be applied by experimentalists in a decade or so No, I'm not familiar with Jones' work, though it sounds interesting? Do you have a reference?
