Computational study of a quantum mechanical based model of magnetoreception
In this work we study a quantum mechanical model of magnetoreception in birds based on a pair of electrons undergoing coherent evolution. The magnetoreception arises because there is a different outcome depending on whether the electrons form a singlet or a triplet state, and a magnetic field can in...
