Quantum Concepts in the Social, Ecological and Biological Sciences

Fabio Bagarello

Quantum mechanics is traditionally associated with microscopic systems; however, quantum concepts have also been successfully applied to a diverse range of macroscopic systems both within and outside of physics. This book describes how complex systems from a variety of fields can be modelled using quantum mechanical principles; from biology and ecology, to sociology and decision-making. The mathematical basis of these models is covered in detail, furnishing a self-contained and consistent approach. This book provides unique insight into the dynamics of these macroscopic systems and opens new interdisciplinary research frontiers. It will be an essential resource for students and researchers in applied mathematics or theoretical physics who are interested in applying quantum mechanics to dynamical systems in the social, biological or ecological sciences.

Quantum Information Transmission in Biological Systems

Jincheng Zhang

This research investigates the potential role of quantum phenomena, specifically quantum entanglement and quantum superposition, in biological information transmission. Traditional biological models often rely on classical explanations for processes such as phototransduction and neuronal communication. This work proposes a framework for developing quantum biological models to explore whether quantum effects contribute to these phenomena. The core claim is that quantum entanglement or superposition could be involved in facilitating information transfer within biological systems. The research will focus on establishing models and investigating the mechanisms by which these quantum effects might influence biological processes, ultimately challenging existing assumptions about information transfer in living organisms. Mathematical formalism is presented to illustrate key concepts and proposed models.

Quantum-like modeling in biology with open quantum systems and instruments

Irina Basieva, Andrei Yu. Khrennikov, Masanao Ozawa

We present the novel approach to mathematical modeling of information processes in biosystems. It explores the mathematical formalism and methodology of quantum theory, especially quantum measurement theory. This approach is known as quantum-like and it should be distinguished from study of genuine quantum physical processes in biosystems (quantum biophysics, quantum cognition). It is based on quantum information representation of biosystem's state and modeling its dynamics in the framework of theory of open quantum systems. This paper starts with the non-physicist friendly presentation of quantum measurement theory, from the original von Neumann formulation to modern theory of quantum instruments. Then, latter is applied to model combinations of cognitive effects and gene regulation of glucose/lactose metabolism in Escherichia coli bacterium. The most general construction of quantum instruments is based on the scheme of indirect measurement, in that measurement apparatus plays the role of the environment for a biosystem. The biological essence of this scheme is illustrated by quantum formalization of Helmholtz sensation-perception theory. Then we move to open systems dynamics and consider quantum master equation, with concentrating on quantum Markov processes. In this framework, we model functioning of biological functions such as psychological functions and epigenetic mutation.
