Abstract

Tier 1+ Pass-1. 5 paper 31 of 45. ITU-derived quantum biology on photosynthesis FMO + magnetoreception + radical-pair + enzyme tunneling. Defines Kqbio = -log ρqbio as the operator-algebraic modular Hamiltonian on Hcoherence ⊗ Hₜunneling ⊗ Hₑntanglement ⊗ Hₛpin ⊗ Hₚhotosynthesis. Kqbio inherits from KQG via the CLPW 2023 type II crossed-product specialised to this scale. Numerical results.
