In this presentation we expand on the topics discussed in the presentation with the same title (Part I): the Quantum Information viewpoint on Biological systems and what life is, with implications to different areas of study and practices, including alternative medicine, music as an approach to healing etc. The new paradigm in science, brought by progress in the Theory of Quantum Information, can by encoded in the symbolic equation “QI=qi”, i.e. quantum information is chi/qi. The presentation is not meant to be technical, but rather informative, providing “food for thought”.

The interrelation between quantum physics and biology was once excluded as impossible, but it is now being reconsidered in unexpected and unprecedented ways. Quantum biology is a novel frontier of science that studies quantum effects in biological systems: Life functions and senses of perceptions appear to be mediated by quantum mechanical processes, which allow living organisms to sustain themselves and experience reality. Photosynthesis, magnetoreception, olfaction, and potentially our sense of consciousness would be possible through the weird quantum-energetic behavior of subatomic particles. Modern medicine is being impacted as well by the quantum revolution, with a shift in perspective from material particles to energy fields, in accordance with the principles of traditional medical systems, such as Ayurveda, Traditional Chinese Medicine, and Homeopathy.
The findings of physics at the beginning of the last century have caused a revolutionary change in our commonly accepted view of the world. Because of their seemingly paradoxical features the philosophical consequences of the new insights, however, were never really adopted by the scientific community despite the quite apparent and far-reaching technical innovations they enabled. The new so-called „quantum“ physics revealed that the world at its foundation is no longer the familiar, tangible (thing-like) reality but rather a holistic immaterial „gestalt“: pure „interconnectedness“, inseparable „potentiality“. Its evolution in time does not follow from strictly determined laws but is only guided by certain inherent tendencies exhibited in terms of definite probabilities for possible material-energetic realizations. Generally these realizations recover the appearance of the familiar classical world as an objective reality with rigorous dynamic laws. In contrast to the old world view, where matter, consisting of discrete, constant building blocks, ranks first, and its various forms result secondarily from different law-determined arrangements of these building blocks, the situation in the modern view is turned around: Relationship or „gestalt“ or „information“ is now more fundamental and substance or matter/energy appears subsequently as an as-if phenomenon on the macroscopic level. The new world view sets limits to knowledge and the related science on principle. It proves to be very powerful because it establishes bridges between all disciplines and hitherto conflicting paradigms and descriptions. In particular in this more open framework the non-living and living phenomena (including the human species) no longer appear as basically different, but as two different structures of the same immaterial essence, relating respectively to static stable and static instable (highly sensitive), but dynamically stabilised (homeostatic) configurations. In such a „basically alive“ world biology and medicine, therefore, have to accept that logistically the immaterial, information-type (“spiritual“) software in the background becomes more important than the (physical) hardware being guided by it. The well-known difficulty of complementary medicine – and in particular of homeopathy with its impressive healing record – to explain its experience in the language of the old science, based on substances and a mechanistic dynamic, may thus be resolved within the more open and flexible framework of modern „science“, in which knowledge has a more open meaning (due to basic indeterminism) offering many more dimensions for healing to the devoted healer. The observation of a highly diversified filigree crystalline structure of (liquid) water, as demonstrated by recent studies, may represent a material/energetic print-out of the hidden information coded in the basic immaterial software.
Each computer is essentially an actual framework, and any calculation is only an actual cycle gone through by this framework. Quantum physics is the most dependable approach to depicting actual frameworks and their overall conduct. Encoding information into quantum frameworks and processing it as indicated by the laws of quantum physics brings about new elements which don’t exist in the old-style calculation. Quantum information processing is a cross-disciplinary field and is critical from, both, a crucial as well as an innovative viewpoint. According to the crucial viewpoint, we have developed how we might interpret the connection between physics, information, and calculation as a general rule, and have additionally acquired a more profound comprehension of the principal parts of the quantum hypothesis—non-area and entanglement specifically. According to the mechanical point of view, we have controlled increasingly large quantum frameworks and acquired strong down to earth applications in the area of correspondence and cryptography like the unequivocally solid quantum cryptography (key trade) and quantum instant transportation The more prominent capability of the quantum computer was first acknowledged by Feynman, who noticed that quantum frameworks give off an impression of being dramatically difficult to recreate with traditional computers and expressed that quantum computers might actually be significantly more remarkable than their old-style partners. The improvement of quantum information science (QIS) has been driven by hypothetical work of researchers dealing with the limit between Physics, Computer Science, Mathematics, and Information Theory. In the beginning phases of this turn of events, hypothetical work has regularly been a long way in front of test acknowledgement of these thoughts. Simultaneously, the hypothesis has given various propositions of how to execute fundamental thoughts and ideas from quantum information in explicit actual frameworks.
In classical physics, the world is considered as a matter-based reality, the arrangement of whose parts in time is uniquely determined by certain dynamic laws. By contrast, modern quantum physics reveals that matter is not composed of matter, but reality is merely potentiality. The world has a holistic structure, which is based on fundamental relations and not material objects, admitting more open, indeterministic developments. In this more flexible causal framework, inanimate and animate matter are not to be considered as fundamentally different but as different order structures of the same immaterial entity. In a stable configuration, effectively all the uncertainties are statistically averaged out, thus the unique and deterministic behavior of ordinary inanimate matter is exhibited; whereas in the case of statically unstable but dynamically stable configurations, the “lively” features of the underlying quantum structure have a chance to surface to the mesocopic level and to be connected with what we observe as the phenomenon of life. This supposition can be more explicitly treated and clarified by identifying the electric dipole moment of biomolecules as the ordering parameter of the corresponding macroquantum system. This has important consequences for biology and medicine. In particular, it suggests the existence of a quantum-based “software,” essential perhaps for the logistics of biological processes, which are hidden behind the matter/energy-based “hardware” that alone is considered in the conventional approach. In medicine it opens an opportunity to build bridges between conventional medicine based essentially on the classical paradigm, and the various forms of complementary medicine, which have strong affinities with the new features of the modern holistic worldview.
DNA sequencing allows for the determination of the genetic code of an organism, and therefore is an indispensable tool that has applications in Medicine, Life Sciences, Evolutionary Biology, Food Sciences and Technology, and Agriculture. In this paper, we present several novel methods of performing classical-to-quantum data encoding inspired by various mathematical fields, and we demonstrate these ideas within Bioinformatics. In particular, we introduce algorithms that draw inspiration from diverse fields such as Electrical and Electronic Engineering, Information Theory, Differential Geometry, and Neural Network architectures. We provide a complete overview of the existing data encoding schemes and show how to use them in Genomics. The algorithms provided utilise lossless compression, wavelet-based encoding, and information entropy. Moreover, we propose a contemporary method for testing encoded DNA sequences using Quantum Boltzmann Machines. To evaluate the effectiveness of our algorithms, we discuss a potential dataset that serves as a sandbox environment for testing against real-world scenarios. Our research contributes to developing classical-to-quantum data encoding methods in the science of Bioinformatics by introducing innovative algorithms that utilise diverse fields and advanced techniques. Our findings offer insights into the potential of Quantum Computing in Bioinformatics and have implications for future research in this area.
