This manuscript was originally submitted to Nature for consideration as a "Brief Communication" in response to a "Corrigendum" that appeared in 2006 (1) to an earlier paper in Nature. That corrigendum was the subject of a Nature editorial…
There have been many claims that quantum mechanics plays a key role in the origin and/or operation of biological organisms, beyond merely providing the basis for the shapes and sizes of biological molecules and their chemical affinities.…
A review of the mechanisms of speciation is performed. The mechanisms of the evolution of species, taking into account the feedback of the state of the environment and mechanisms of the emergence of complexity, are considered. It is shown…

The argument used, in a recent letter to Nature (Nature 130 vol 404, 2000) to arrive at the `quantum-no-deleting principle' is erroneous. It is pointed out here that there may not be anything like such a principle. In any case, the claims…

Pathogens drive changes in host immune systems that in turn exert pressure for pathogens to evolve. Quantifying and understanding this constant coevolutionary process has clear practical global health implications. Yet its relatively easier…
This paper shows that universal quantum computers possess decoherent histories in which complex adaptive systems evolve with high probability.
Using electromagnetic interaction as an example, response transformations [L.P. and S.S., Ann.Phys. 323, 1963, 1989 (2008), 324, 600 (2009)] are applied to the standard perturbative approach of quantum field theory. This approach is…
The spin-statistics connection, quantum gravity and other physical considerations suggest that classical space-time topology is not an immutable attribute and can change in quantum physics. The implementation of topology change using…
We analyze quantum state estimation for finite samples based on symmetry information. The used measurement concept compares an unknown qubit to a reference state. We describe explicitly an adaptive strategy, that enhances the estimation…

Quantum-limited estimation of an optical phase using adaptive (i.e. real-time feedback) techniques is reviewed. One case is explored in detail, as it can be understood using only elementary concepts such as photonic shot-noise and error…
In this paper we provide an overview of important research works on response-adaptive randomization completed in the past decades.
Molecular-nuclear transitions induced by external radiation are considered in this report, and new mechanism of quantum amplification based on this process is proposed.
In a previous paper, the author proposed a quantum mechanical interaction that would insure that the evolution of subjective states would parallel the evolution of biological states, as required by von Neumann's theory of measurement. The…
The first experimental demonstration of an adaptive quantum state estimation (AQSE) is reported. The strong consistency and asymptotic efficiency of AQSE have been mathematically proven [ A. Fujiwara J. Phys. A 39 12489 (2006)]. In this…
Motivated by recent studies of large Mallows$(q)$ permutations, we propose a class of random permutations of $\mathbb{N}_{+}$ and of $\mathbb{Z}$, called regenerative permutations. Many previous results of the limiting Mallows$(q)$…
We survey various origins and expressions for the quantum potential with some new observations.
