Although it has been known for almost half a century that migratory birds can detect the
direction of the Earth's magnetic field, the primary sensory mechanism behind this …

There is a remarkable characteristic of photosynthesis in nature, that is, the energy transfer
efficiency is close to 100%. Recently, due to the rapid progress made in the experimental …

In a fully-controllable experiment platform for studying non-Markovian open quantum
dynamics, we show that the non-Markovianity could be investigated from the global and …

It is known that more than 50 species use the Earth's magnetic field for orientation and
navigation. Intensive studies, particularly behavior experiments with birds, provide support …

One of the principal models of magnetic sensing in migratory birds rests on the quantum
spin dynamics of transient radical pairs created photochemically in ocular cryptochrome …

Quantum measurements play a crucial role in quantum mechanics since they perturb,
unavoidably and irreversibly, the state of the measured quantum system. More extremely …

The chemical compass model, based on radical pair reactions, is an idea to explain avian
magnetoreception. At present, to the best of our knowledge, questions concerning the key …

We review the spin radical pair mechanism which is a promising explanation of avian
navigation. This mechanism is based on the dependence of product yields on (1) the …

Small perturbations to systems near critical points of quantum phase transitions can induce
drastic changes in the system properties. Here I show that this sensitivity can be exploited for …

How migratory birds can find the right way when navigating over thousands of miles is an
intriguing question that has greatly interested researchers in both the fields of biology and …
