Readit NewsIt is not possible, by definition; here’s a portion of the DSM 5 definition of schizophrenia:
“ The disturbance is not attributable to the physiological effects of a substance (e.g., a drug of abuse, a medication) or another medical condition”
Hard to find a publicly accessible DSM link, but here is an excerpt

I personally take it to manage brain fog due to long-Covid.
I can say ketones are something else in the brain. I sat at my desk today for 6 hours straight without even getting so much as a drink of water. I didn't even think about eating. Just in the zone and hyper focused.
A very weird and pleasant experience, that alas can't be sustained forever given how delicious carbs are.
Once again we have a non-story overflowing with hyperbole. These types of articles increase unreasonable fear and do an injustice to journalism. I am flat out done with bad journalism that gets its viewership by hyping fear. 'The Standard' is off my list of credible news outlets.
- Usually the problem with room temperature is that the various thermal mechanical excitation and thermal radiation surrounding the qubit lead to interaction with the qubit and the information stored in it "leaks"; that is the main reason a lot of quantum hardware needs cryogenics.
- There are already a couple of similar types of "defects" that are known as a promising way to retain superposition states at room temperature. They work because the defect happens to be mechanically and/or optically isolated from the rest of the environment due to some idiosyncrasies in its physical composition.
- You might have heard of "trapped ion" or "trapped neutral atom" quantum hardware. In those the qubits are atoms (or the electrons of atoms) and they are trapped (with optical or RF tweezers) so they are kept accessible. The type of "defects" discussed here are "simply" atoms trapped in a crystal lattice instead of trapped in optical tweezers -- there are various tradeoffs for that choice.
- While discoveries like this are extremely exciting, there is a completely separate set of issues about scalability, reliability, longevity, controlability, and reproducible fabrication of devices like this. That is true for any quantum hardware and while there are great improvements over the last 15 years and while there is truly exponential progress over that time, we are still below the threshold of this technology being engineeringly and economically useful.
Lastly, the usual reminder: there are a few problems in computing, communication, and sensing, where quantum devices can do things that are impossible classically, but these are very restricted and niche problems. For most things a classical device is not only practically better today, but also is in-principle better even if quantum computers become trivial to build.
