In ``Quantum Evolution: Life in the Multiverse'' (HarperCollins, 2000), ISBN 0-00-255948-X, 0-00-655128-9, Johnjoe McFadden makes far-reaching claims for the importance of quantum physics in the solution of problems in biological science.…
The comment mostly concerns mis-representation of my position on Quantum Biology, by stating that I am 'reducing cell's behavior to quantum particles inside the cell'. I contrast my position with that of McFadden-Al-Khalili, as well as with…
In Stephen Adler's book, "Quantum theory as an emergent phenomenon," the author starts from a classical mechanics structure and "derives" the formalism of quantum theory, together with wave function collapse dynamics, the latter providing…
The analogy between the quantum evolution and that of the master equation is explored. By stressing the stochastic nature of quantum evolution a number of conceptual difficulties in the interpretation of quantum mechanics are avoided.
Jim Shapiro synthesizes a great many observations about the mechanisms of evolution to reach the remarkable conclusion that large-scale modification, exchange, and rearrangement of the genome are common and should be viewed as fundamental…
This is a book review of the book: "Quantum Theory as an Emergent Phenomenon", by Stephen L. Adler (Cambridge University Press - 2004)
We argue that our analysis of the J-Q model, presented in Phys. Rev. B 80, 174403 (2009), and based on a field-theory description of coupled dimers, captures properly the strong quantum fluctuations tendencies, and the objections outlined…
This paper has been withdrawn by the author due to extremely unscientific errors.
This article is a response to the recent Worrying Trends in Econophysics critique written by four respected theoretical economists. Two of the four have written books and papers that provide very useful critical analyses of the shortcomings…
A review of "Bohmian Mechanics and Quantum Theory: An Appraisal" (James Cushing, Arthur Fine and Sheldon Goldstein, Eds.), an extensive collection of articles on Bohmian mechanics. In addition to broad, critical overviews of Bohmian…
This brief note in response to Wojciech Zurek's article "Quantum Darwinism, classical reality, and the randomness of quantum jumps" (Physics Today, October 2014, page 44) points out extant rebuttals in the literature to some of the author's…
Review of the book "Thermal Convection: Patterns, Evolution and Stability" by M. Lappa. Invited by the journal Geophysical and Astrophysical Fluid Dynamics.
In this reply, we hope to bring clarifications about the reservations expressed by Floyd in his comments, give further explanations about the choice of the approach and show that our fundamental result can be reproduced by other ways. We…
The underlying philosophy and motivation for quantum hadrodynamics (QHD), namely, relativistic field theories of nuclear phenomena featuring manifest covariance, have evolved over the last quarter century in response to successes, failures,…
An out of the box intellectual path exploring the foundations of quantum mechanics is discussed in some detail, in order to clarify why a possibly different way to look at the relevant fundamental questions can be identified and can support…
Darwin's theory of evolution is considered to be one of the greatest scientific gems in modern science. It not only gives us a description of how living things evolve, but also shows how a population evolves through time and also, why only…
This is an invited review of Jean Bricmont's book "Making Sense of Quantum Mechanics."
This paper is an answer to the first part of Adrian Kent's One World versus Many : the Inadequacy of Everettian Accounts of Evolution, Probability, and Scientific Confirmation [arXiv:0905.0624]. We take issue with Kent's arguments against…
Darwin's book, Origin of the Species has been a source of public controversy for more than hundred and fifty years. Court cases and mountains of words have not dispelled this controversy. In this paper, a quantitative approach using simple…
This article gives an elementary introduction to quantum computing. It is a draft for a book chapter of the "Handbook of Nature-Inspired and Innovative Computing", Eds. A. Zomaya, G.J. Milburn, J. Dongarra, D. Bader, R. Brent, M.…
