Quantum in Biology, Quantum for Biology, and Biology for Quantum: Mapping the Evidence and the Road Ahead
Lea Gassab, Betony Adams, Yashine H. Goolam Hossen +7
Quantum science and biology now intersect in three complementary directions: quantum in biology, quantum for biology, and biology for quantum. This review provides a structured nar…
Conditional Enhancement of Radical Pair Dynamics via Chiral State Preparation
Tristen Gwynn, Betony Adams, Francesco Petruccione
Chiral-induced spin selectivity (CISS) has been shown to enhance magnetic sensitivity in radical pair mechanism (RPM) models under specific Hamiltonian conditions, yet whether thes…
Spin quantum computing, spin quantum cognition
Betony Adams, Francesco Petruccione
Over two decades ago, Bruce Kane proposed that spin-half phosphorus nuclei embedded in a spin-zero silicon substrate could serve as a viable platform for spin-based quantum computi…
Fool's gold: ligand-receptor interactions and the origins of life
Betony Adams, Angela Illing, Francesco Petruccione
The origins of life is a question that continues to intrigue scientists across disciplines. One theory - the iron-sulphur theory - suggests that reactions essential to the synthesi…
Quantum evolution: terrestrial fine-tuning of magnetic parameters
Betony Adams, Abbas Hassasfar, Ilya Sinayskiy +3
For the first time in history, humankind might conceivably begin to imagine itself as a multi-planetary species. This goal will entail technical innovation in a number of contexts,…
Entanglement and coherence in pure and doped Posner molecules
Betony Adams, Ilya Sinayskiy, Shivang Agarwal +1
The potential role of spin in biological systems is a primary topic in quantum biology. However, much of this research focuses on electron spin. A recent hypothesis suggests that n…
Bad vibrations: Quantum tunnelling in the context of SARS-CoV-2 infection
Betony Adams, Ilya Sinayskiy, Rienk van Grondelle +1
The SARS-CoV-2 pandemic has added new urgency to the study of viral mechanisms of infection. But while vaccines offer a measure of protection against this specific outbreak, a new…
Quantum effects in the brain: A review
Betony Adams, Francesco Petruccione
In the mid-1990s it was proposed that quantum effects in proteins known as microtubules play a role in the nature of consciousness. The theory was largely dismissed due to the fact…
