MICROTUBULE INFO PROCESSING. "MT-based information processing offers a huge potential increase in brain capacity." https://lnkd.in/e2cr6ar View in LinkedIn

"LIFE -- WARM, WET AND NOISY. A primary issue is decoherence, a process where the phases of quantum wavefunctions are randomized to reduce quantum phenomena to classical processes. Decoherence arises from dynamic disorder, or “energy noise”, and is expected to be extremely rapid in biological environments." https://lnkd.in/e7kcPri View in LinkedIn

CORRECT COMPLEXITY. "We show that systems with the right level of complexity between chaos and regularity can increase their coherence time by orders of magnitude." https://lnkd.in/ec-BymT View in LinkedIn

CORRECT COMPLEXITY. "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." https://lnkd.in/ec-BymT View in LinkedIn

NANO VERSUS BIO. "On the face of it, quantum effects and living organisms seem to occupy utterly different realms. The former are usually observed only on the nanometre scale, surrounded by hard vacuum, ultra-low temperatures and a tightly controlled laboratory environment. The latter inhabit a macroscopic world that is warm, messy and anything but controlled." https://lnkd.in/eDJed9B View in LinkedIn

AVOIDING CHAOS. "The credibility of quantum biology therefore hinges on the extent to which decoherence evasion might be possible in real biological systems." https://lnkd.in/e2T5qPj View in LinkedIn

DECOHERENCE TIMEFRAMES. "The warm and wet conditions of biological organisms does not favor quantum coherence, and simple calculations predict that decoherence times are generally much shorter than biochemically relevant time scales." https://lnkd.in/e2T5qPj View in LinkedIn

AMBIENT TEMPERATURES. "The observation at room temperature of quantum effects in a biological system is itself remarkable." https://lnkd.in/eRUdQZj View in LinkedIn

DECOHERENCE. "Some of these forces change very rapidly compared to the excitation frequencies of the system and look random from its point of view. This “heat bath” destroys quantum coherence and moves the system into a mixed state rapidly." https://lnkd.in/ec-BymT View in LinkedIn
