Quantum Adaptivity in Biology: From Genetics to Cognition
This book examines information processing performed by bio-systems at all scales: from genomes, cells, and proteins to cognitive and even social systems. It introduces a theoretical/conceptual principle based on quantum information and non-Kolmogorov prob

Science is beautiful when it makes simple explanations of phenomena or connections between different observations. Examples include the double helix in biology and the fundamental equations of physics. Stephen Hawking I’m fascinated by the idea that genetics is digital. A gene is a long sequence of coded letters, like computer information. Modern biology is becoming very much a branch of information technology. Richard Dawkins
Foreword
Unlike any other discipline in the natural sciences, Biology has benefitted tremendously from intriguing ideas and novel concepts from outside the subject’s area throughout the last century. The apparently distinct topics of chemistry, physics, mathematics and informatics became integral and indispensable matters of biological research that blended surprisingly well with organismal studies of the last centuries’ Bio
