| Description: | Speaker: Iannis Kominis Affiliation: Department of Physics, University of Crete Title: Quantum Biology, the New Synthesis Location: Computer Science Department, room A115-A117 (ground floor), Voutes Time: 16:00 Language: English Abstract Quantum information science has capitalized on the "quantum advantage" in information processing stemming from quantum coherence and entanglement. Naively, it was thought that such advantage pertains only to well-isolated quantum systems carefully engineered by man. Yet again, we now discover that Nature got there first. During her billion-year-old research and development program, Nature has already managed to harness non-trivial quantum effects. In this talk I will demonstrate that two major paradigms establishing the new interdisciplinary science of quantum biology, photosynthesis and avian magnetic compass, are surprisingly apt quantum-information-technology realizations. |
