A mechanism of memories, especially biological memories, is studied in terms of quantum fluids. Two-dimensional flows in central potentials $V_a(\rho)=-a^2g_a\rho^{2(a-1)}$ ($a\not=0$ and $\rho=\sqrt{x^2+y^2}$) have zero-energy eigenstates…
Quantum memory effects can be induced even when the degrees of freedom associated to the environment are not affected at all during the system evolution. In this paper, based on a bipartite representation of the system-environment dynamics,…
Adaptation to changing environments is a universal feature of life and can involve the organism modifying itself in response to the environment as well as actively modifying the environment to control selection pressures. The latter case…
