Paul Bergold has been appointed a Postdoctoral Fellow on the project “Life on the Edge: quantum thermodynamics, quantum biology and the arrow of time“, with immediate effect, supported by the Templeton Foundation. Paul is working with Cesare Tronci on a sub-theme called “bridging the quantum-classical divide“. A link to the Templeton funding announcement is here. […]

The paper “Open quantum dynamics for plant motions“, authored by Dorje Brody, has been published in the Nature journal Scientific Reports.The paper makes the observation that equations governing the dynamics of open quantum systems are applicable in biology. As examples of dynamics in biology, motions of plants — specifically, heliotropism and gravitropism — are modelled, […]
