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…
The Funessian process: Non-Markovian dynamics shaped by the first event
Bilal Canturk, Gokhan Baris Bagci, Onur Pusuluk
We construct a continuous-time, positively divisible non-Markovian process with memory of the initial state that satisfies the differential Chapman--Kolmogorov equation. In the sta…
Catalytic quantum thermodynamics beyond additivity and reduced-state monotones
Ali Can Günhan, Onur Pusuluk, Thomas Oikonomou +1
The generalized second laws of quantum thermodynamics are usually formulated in terms of Rényi divergences and the associated family of generalized free energies. In catalytic the…
Thermodynamic limits of the Mpemba effect: A unified resource theory analysis of correlation-enabled mechanisms
Doruk Can Alyürük, Mahir H. YeÅiller, Vlatko Vedral +1
The Mpemba effect, in which a hotter system cools faster than a colder one, remains one of the most intriguing anomalies in thermodynamics. Here, we investigate its microscopic ori…
The physical basis of information flow in neural matter: a thermocoherent perspective on cognitive dynamics
Onur Pusuluk
Information flow is central to contemporary accounts of cognition, yet its physical basis in living neural matter remains poorly specified. Here, we develop a multiscale resource-t…
Quantum Information Flow in Microtubule Tryptophan Networks
Lea Gassab, Onur Pusuluk, Travis J. A. Craddock
Networks of aromatic amino acid residues within microtubules, particularly those formed by tryptophan, may serve as pathways for optical information flow. Ultraviolet excitation dy…
