Researchers at OIST have developed a mathematical framework to control quantum systems, addressing the experimental challenges of observing quantum entanglement in biological contexts like avian magnetoreception. This work provides the necessary theoretical foundation to transition long-standing hypotheses about bird navigation from abstract theory into testable laboratory experiments. Beyond resolving a decades-old mystery in quantum biology, these findings also establish new protocols for managing coherence in radical pairs, which could advance practical applications in quantum computing.

Quantum control algorithm looks to explain how birds migrate

Phys.orgSeptember 3, 20265 min read

The hidden world of quantum mechanics exists at scales many orders of magnitude smaller than living organisms, yet scientists have long theorized that quantum effects play an important role in biology. Birds' ability to sense magnetic fields during migration is one of the best-known mysteries in this field, with leading theories suggesting that this sensing could be achieved by exploiting quantum entanglement.
