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, […]
