Night-migratory songbirds are remarkably proficient navigators. Flying alone and often over
great distances, they use various directional cues including, crucially, a light-dependent …

This review covers the phenomenon of resonance-like responses of biological systems to
low-frequency magnetic fields (LFMF). The historical development of this branch of …

Many animals use the Earth's geomagnetic field for orientation and navigation. Yet, the
molecular and cellular underpinnings of the magnetic sense remain largely unknown. A …

The past two decades have witnessed immense advances in quantum information
technology (QIT), benefited by advances in physics, chemistry, biology, and materials …

ABSTRACT Cryptochrome 4a (Cry4a) has been proposed as the sensor at the heart of the
magnetic compass in migratory songbirds. Blue-light excitation of this protein produces …

Many birds are endowed with a visual magnetic sense that may exploit magnetosensitive
radical recombination processes in the protein cryptochrome. In this widely accepted but …

Charge transfer and charge transport are by far among the most important processes for
sustaining life on Earth and for making our modern ways of living possible. Involving multiple …

The mechanism underlying magnetoreception has long eluded explanation. A popular
hypothesis attributes this sense to the quantum coherent spin dynamics and spin-selective …

We present a preliminary surface-hop** approach for modeling intersystem crossing (ISC)
dynamics between four electronic states: one singlet and one (triply degenerate) triplet. In …

The emerging field of quantum life science combines principles from quantum physics and
biology to study fundamental life processes at the molecular level. Quantum mechanics …
