Summary:: Can you tell me if my sci-fi story's scientific premise is remotely believable?

I am writing a sci-Fi novel. The scientific premise of the story is like this...

The creature in my story is created in a lab by a quantum physicist. With a quantum computer, and electron microscopes and using the atom probe tomography technology, the scientist successfully scans a human zygote at the atomic level. From the scan, he obtains the complete data of the zygote's cell structure, including its genome. Then, he uses a special material to make necessary molecules, and ultimately "prints" an zygote clone. Since the clone is the exact copy at the atomic level, the clone replicates itself, just as the original human zygote does.

I would appreciate it if you could tell me my story's scientific premise is remotely believable. If not, any suggestion as to other science technology/ideas I can look into?

Thank you so much.

I don't know your audience, but I suspect that believability will not be an issue.

Limit it to one cell only and don't forget to add some (very) low temperature.
It'll be still far out of our current reach but will be far closer than what many bestsellers trying to build on.
