A Toy Model of Quantum Measurement with Experimentally Falsifiable Predictions
Aaron Santos
I describe a toy model of quantum measurement in which wave function collapse is described as a stochastic entropically-driven event guided by interactions between a measured two-s…
Thermodynamics of a Simple Three-Dimensional DNA Hairpin Model
Kellan Kremer, Kyle Jensen, Erin Boggess +6
We characterize the equation of state for a simple three-dimensional DNA hairpin model using a Metropolis Monte Carlo algorithm. This algorithm was run at constant temperature and…
Kinetic Pathways of the DNA Melting Transition
Aaron Santos, William Klein
We investigate kinetic pathways of the DNA melting transition using variable-range versions of the Poland-Scheraga (PS) and Peyrard-Dauxois-Bishop (PDB) models of DNA. In the PS mo…
Kinetics of the Melting Transition in DNA
Aaron Santos, William Klein
We investigate the kinetics of the DNA melting transition using modified versions of the Peyrard-Dauxois-Bishop and Poland-Scheraga models that include long and short range interac…
