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
DECOHERENCE. "Quantum biology is dealing with open quantum systems closely coupled to their many degrees of freedom environment. The environment exerts time dependent forces on the system through the coupling." https://lnkd.in/ec-BymT View in LinkedIn
BIOQUANTUM TIMEFRAMES. "Here we propose that at the critical edge of quantum chaos coherence and transport can coexist for several orders of magnitudes longer than in simple quantum systems. Quantum systems changing from integrable to quantum chaotic pass through critical quantum chaos." https://lnkd.in/ec-BymT View in LinkedIn
ENORMOUS CAPACITY. "AI is looking at neurons firing or not firing, 1,000 per second, 1,000 synapses. Something like the 10 to the 15th operations per second per brain… and that’s without even bringing in the quantum business." https://lnkd.in/eFVH_iD View in LinkedIn
VAST TIME AND DISTANCE CYCLES. "It appears that living systems are governed by cycles and correlations, requiring massive cooperation across a large range of time and length scales. At the macroscopic level we see functional periodic changes such as circadian rhythms and seasonal variations, whose regulation cannot be explained by a simple mechanical ‘switch’." https://lnkd.in/e7kcPri View in LinkedIn
NEURON RAM "Each neuron has roughly 10(-8) tubulins switching at roughly 10(-7) per second, getting 10(-15) operations per second per neuron. If you multiply that by the number of neurons you get 10 to the 26th operations per second per brain." https://lnkd.in/eFVH_iD View in LinkedIn
ORDERED COMPLEXITY. "How does life maintain its molecular order long enough to perform its quantum tricks in warm and wet cells?" https://lnkd.in/eYXPebN View in LinkedIn
