    B Is quantum coherence a random event?

    I really appreciate you taking the time to keep responding. Sadly I don't feel as if I'm much closer to understanding how random quantum behavior can reliably be counted on to produce macroscopic effects in living systems. In fact I'm actually more confused than at the outset when I was under...

    B Is quantum coherence a random event?

    Yes Peter I now understand that laboratory controlled conditions which produce macroscopic quantum events are different from those naturally occurring events as in solar nuclear fusion and quantum biology. But it seems as if you are accounting for the canceling out of quantum effects due to the...

    B Is quantum coherence a random event?

    This is very confusing to me. It sounds like in the two quotes above the law of large numbers are being attributed as both the cause of such powerful effects as macroscopic events and also as resulting in ineffective randomness.

    B Is quantum coherence a random event?

    Also Peter thanks for explaining the Ehrenfest theorem too! Isn't that effect commonly referred to as quantum decoherence?

    B Is quantum coherence a random event?

    Thank you so much Peter for taking the time to answer my question. Your response has me a bit confused though. Isn't what makes a macroscopic quantum event possible in biological processes and in the nuclear fusion taking place in the sun quantum coherence? I have repeatedly read that for a...

    B Is quantum coherence a random event?

    I appreciate you responding to my post however I am a lay person and the page you directed me to is essentially a page of equations, in which I am not literate, or perhaps the more correct word is numerate. So unfortunately I have no idea what the Ehrenfest theorem is saying. If you or someone...

    B Is quantum coherence a random event?

    How we should understand the randomness of quantum events in the context of the significant role that they apparently play in our macroscopic world. Using processes as superconductivity, super-fluidity, and in Bose-Einstein Condensates researchers have been able to produce macroscopic quantum...
