Quantum biology on the edge of quantum chaos. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2014 We give a new explanation for why some biological systems can stay quantum coherent for a long time at room temperature, one of the fundamental puzzles of quantum biology.

Singular Value Decomposition Quantum Algorithm for Quantum Biology [PDF]
ACS Physical Chemistry AuThere has been a recent interest in quantum algorithms for the modelling and prediction of non-unitary quantum dynamics using current quantum computers. The field of quantum biology is one area where these algorithms could prove to be useful, as biological systems are generally intractable to treat in their complete form, but amenable to an open ...

Accelerating an integrative view of quantum biology [PDF]
Frontiers in Physiology, 2023 Quantum biology studies span multiple disciplines including physics, engineering, and biology with the goal of understanding the quantum underpinnings of living systems. Recent findings have brought wide attention to the role of quantum mechanisms in the

Chronobiology Meets Quantum Biology: A New Paradigm Overlooking the Horizon? [PDF]
Frontiers in Physiology, 2022 Biological processes and physiological functions in living beings are featured by oscillations with a period of about 24 h (circadian) or cycle at the second and third harmonic (ultradian) of the basic frequency, driven by the biological clock.

Cryptochrome and quantum biology: unraveling the mysteries of plant magnetoreception [PDF]
Frontiers in Plant Science, 2023 Magnetoreception, the remarkable ability of organisms to perceive and respond to Earth’s magnetic field, has captivated scientists for decades, particularly within the field of quantum biology.

Magnetic isotope effects: a potential testing ground for quantum biology [PDF]
Frontiers in Physiology, 2023 One possible explanation for magnetosensing in biology, such as avian magnetoreception, is based on the spin dynamics of certain chemical reactions that involve radical pairs.

The origins of quantum biology. [PDF]
Proc Math Phys Eng Sci, 2018 Quantum biology is usually considered to be a new discipline, arising from recent research that suggests that biological phenomena such as photosynthesis, enzyme catalysis, avian navigation or olfaction may not only operate within the bounds of classical physics but also make use of a number of the non-trivial features of quantum mechanics, such as ...

The future of quantum biology. [PDF]
J R Soc Interface, 2018 Biological systems are dynamical, constantly exchanging energy and matter with the environment in order to maintain the non-equilibrium state synonymous with living. Developments in observational techniques have allowed us to study biological dynamics on increasingly small scales. Such studies have revealed evidence of quantum mechanical effects, which
