In a timely way, it sets out a distinct quantum biology agenda. This book presents the hotly debated question of whether quantum mechanics plays a non-trivial role in biology. One central moral which is drawn is that, for all the interest that the quantum information-inspired approaches hold, no cheap resolutions to the traditional problems of quantum mechanics are to be had.ДЄuthor: Derek Abbott,Paul C W Davies,Arun K PatiДOWNLOAD Quantum Aspects of Life by Derek Abbott,Paul C W Davies,Arun K Pati Summary He marks out a number of common pitfalls to be avoided before analysing in detail some concrete proposals, including the radical quantum Bayesian programme of Caves, Fuchs, and Schack. With a clear grasp of the concept of information in hand, Timpson turns his attention to the pressing question of whether advances in quantum information theory pave the way for the resolution of the traditional conceptual problems of quantum mechanics: the deep problems which loom over measurement, nonlocality and the general nature of quantum ontology. Topics discussed include the slogan 'Information is Physical', the prospects for an informational immaterialism (the view that information rather than matter might fundamentally constitute the world), and the status of the Church-Turing hypothesis in light of quantum computation. In addition it permits a clear view of what the ontological and methodological lessons provided by quantum information theory are lessons which bear on the gripping question of what role a concept like information has to play in fundamental physics. Timpson's account sheds light on the nature of nonlocality and information flow in the presence of entanglement and, in particular, dissolves puzzles surrounding the remarkable process of quantum teleportation. Against what many have supposed, quantum information can be clearly defined (it is not a primitive or vague notion) but it is not part of the material contents of the world. Timpson argues for an ontologically deflationary account of the nature of quantum information. Beginning from a careful, revisionary, analysis of the concepts of information in the everyday and classical information-theory settings, Christopher G. Quantum Information Theory and the Foundations of Quantum Mechanics is a conceptual analysis of one the most prominent and exciting new areas of physics, providing the first full-length philosophical treatment of quantum information theory and the questions it raises for our understanding of the quantum world. Integrates quantum information and quantum biology concepts Assumes only knowledge of basic concepts of vector algebra at undergraduate level Provides a thorough introduction to basic concepts of quantum information processing, quantum information theory, and quantum biology Includes in-depth discussion of the quantum biological channel modelling, quantum biological channel capacity calculation, quantum models of aging, quantum models of evolution, quantum models on tumor and cancer development, quantum modeling of bird navigation compass, quantum aspects of photosynthesis, quantum biological error correction.ДOWNLOAD Quantum Information Theory and the Foundations of Quantum Mechanics by Christopher G. The book provides all the essential principles of the quantum biological information theory required to describe the quantum information transfer from DNA to proteins, the sources of genetic noise and genetic errors as well as their effects. It serves as a single-source reference to the topic for researchers in bioengineering, communications engineering, electrical engineering, applied mathematics, biology, computer science, and physics. This book is a self-contained, tutorial-based introduction to quantum information theory and quantum biology. GET EBOOK Quantum Biological Information Theory by, Summary
