Local Scale Covariance and Its Radical Implications for Cosmology
Galaxies, 2021 Local scale covariance posits that no privileged length scales should appear in the fundamental equations of local, Minkowskian physics—why should nature have scale, but not position preferences?—yet, they clearly do.

Quantum annealing – foundations and frontiers [PDF]
The European Physical Journal Special Topics, 2015 We briefly review various computational methods for the solution of optimization problems. First, several classical methods such as Metropolis algorithm and simulated annealing are discussed. We continue with a description of quantum methods, namely adiabatic quantum computation and quantum annealing.

Causation, decision theory, and Bell's theorem: a quantum analogue of the Newcomb problem [PDF]
, 2009 I apply some of the lessons from quantum theory, in particular from Bell's theorem, to a debate on the foundations of decision theory and causation. By tracing a formal analogy between the basic assumptions of Causal Decision Theory (CDT)---which was ...

Witnessing causal nonseparability
New Journal of Physics, 2015 Our common understanding of the physical world deeply relies on the notion that events are ordered with respect to some time parameter, with past events serving as causes for future ones.

Mimicking classical noise in ion channels by quantum decoherence
Scientific ReportsThe mechanism of selectivity in ion channels is still an open question in biology. Recent studies suggest that the selectivity filter may exhibit quantum coherence, which could help explain how ions are selected and conducted.

Environment-Assisted Invariance Does Not Necessitate Born’s Rule for Quantum Measurement
Entropy, 2023 The argument of environment-assisted invariance (known as envariance) implying Born’s rule is widely used in models for quantum measurement to reason that they must yield the correct statistics, specifically for linear models.

FEBS Letters, EarlyView.We present robust protocols for the preparation of supported lipid bilayers (SLBs) incorporating either Salmonella smooth LPS or outer membrane vesicles (OMVs). We use a combination of quartz crystal microbalance with dissipation (QCM‐D) and fluorescence microscopy to both characterize the SLBs of various compositions and to probe their interactions ...

Quantum Probability and The Foundations of Quantum Theory [PDF]
, 1990 The point of view advocated, in the last ten years, by quantum probability about the foundations of quantum mechanics, is based on the investigation of the mathematical consequences of a deep and elementary idea developed by the founding fathers of quantum mechanics and accepted nowadays as a truism by most physicists, namely: one should be careful ...

Non-relativistic Quantum Mechanics [PDF]
, 2006 This essay is a discussion of the philosophical and foundational issues that arise in non-relativistic quantum theory. After introducing the formalism of the theory, I consider: characterizations of the quantum formalism, empirical content, uncertainty ...

Reconstructing enzyme evolution by protein engineering
FEBS Letters, EarlyView.Natural enzyme evolution can be retraced by protein engineering methods such as directed evolution, rational design, and ancestral sequence reconstruction. These approaches reveal how enzymes emerged from ligand‐binding scaffolds, developed varying substrate preferences, formed oligomeric complexes, adapted to environmental changes, and evolved novel ...
