DISCUSSION OF QM by three great thinkers, Seth Lloyd (MIT), Thorsten Ritz (UC Irvine), and Paul Davies (Arizona State) with moderator John Hockenberry (PBS Frontline). "QM suggests that objects can act across time and space with no apparent connection" and other "quantum hanky-panky". https://lnkd.in/epjPsqX View in LinkedIn
"QUANTUM TUNNELING describes a phenomenon where a particle is able to pass from one state to another even though it is energetically forbidden to do so (a property that is routinely used in electronics)." https://lnkd.in/eTtJ_KE View in LinkedIn
QUANTUM TUNNELING. "A classical analogy of this occurs in thermally activated systems in which thermal fluctuations can allow a classical object to overcome a potential barrier that is higher than its average energy." https://lnkd.in/eTtJ_KE View in LinkedIn
"QUANTUM ENTANGLEMENT refers to a phenomenon whereby observations of one member of a pair of particles appear to enforce an outcome on a measurement of its partner, regardless of the pair's separation in time or space (Einstein called this ‘spooky action at a distance’). This has been demonstrated experimentally with photons, electrons and atoms." https://lnkd.in/eTtJ_KE View in LinkedIn
"QUANTUM BIOLOGY refers to applications of quantum mechanics and theoretical chemistry to biological objects and problems. Many biological processes involve the conversion of energy into forms that are usable for chemical transformations and are quantum mechanical in nature." https://lnkd.in/epQ9hra View in LinkedIn
THE TERM quantum biology was introduced by noted quantum physicist Pasqual Jordan in 1948 for the study of "quantum events that are amplified in biological systems to produce effects at macro physical levels." https://lnkd.in/eGt98WT View in LinkedIn
"QUANTUM BIOLOGY is a hot topic...in light harvesting in photosynthesis, magnetoreception, enzyme catalysis, or even DNA mutations. https://lnkd.in/exJNcJY View in LinkedIn
QUANTUM FITNESS OF THE SPECIES. "Recent evidence suggests that a variety of organisms may harness some of the unique features of quantum mechanics to gain a biological advantage." https://lnkd.in/eRUdQZj View in LinkedIn
QUANTUM FITNESS OF THE SPECIES. "These features go beyond trivial quantum effects and may include harnessing quantum coherence on physiologically important timescales." https://lnkd.in/eRUdQZj View in LinkedIn
