Understanding the rules of life is one of the most important scientific endeavours and has
revolutionised both biology and biotechnology. Remarkable advances in observation …

Molecular biology and biochemistry interpret microscopic processes in the living world in
terms of molecular structures and their interactions, which are quantum mechanical by their …

We recently derived a spin-map** approach for treating the nonadiabatic dynamics of a
two-level system in a classical environment [JE Runeson and JO Richardson, J. Chem …

The persistent accumulation of carbon dioxide (CO2) in the atmosphere represents a major
environmental threat facing the world today. The electrochemical reduction of CO2 (ERCO2) …

That the rates and yields of reactions of organic radicals can be spin dependent is well
known in the context of the radical pair mechanism (RPM). Less well known, but still well …

Exposures to a hypomagnetic field can affect biological processes. Recently, it has been
observed that hypomagnetic field exposure can adversely affect adult hippocampal …

A visual magnetic sense in migratory birds has been hypothesized to rely on a radical pair
reaction in the protein cryptochrome. In this model, magnetic sensitivity originates from …

Understanding the mechanisms underlying general anesthesia would be a key step towards
understanding consciousness. The process of xenon-induced general anesthesia has been …

The remarkable ability of migratory birds to navigate accurately using the geomagnetic field
for journeys of thousands of kilometres is currently thought to arise from radical pair …

Current and near term quantum computers (ie NISQ devices) are limited in their
computational power in part due to qubit decoherence. Here we seek to take advantage of …
