[FRIAM] more quantum biology

[Marcus Daniels]

When are correlations amongst electrons actually essential to prediction in biochemistry?  With metalloenzymes?   Photosynthesis?  What problems couldn’t be addressed adequately with approximations like density functional theory?

On the time thing, I think one issue is that it is very difficult to keep entanglement from proliferating with the environment.  So reversibility means some earth-sized tensor of with unquantifiable terms.

Jim Al-Khalili and Andrea Rocco (Surrey), Clarice Aiello (UCLA), Paul Davies (Arizona State), and Chiara Marletto (Oxford)

I'd heard of Davies and Marletto, but not the others.
