You will get better and mor helpful answers if you will tell us where you got lost. We can help you over any hard spots, but only if we know where they are.

Firstly thank you for your answer.
secondly, I am trying to apply the ideas in this paper to my thesis.
I am actually trying to meet someone who is quite knowledgeable in this area. Because I am a chemical engineering student at UNSW Sydney.
 
The efficiency of the energy transfers requires quantum theory to explain it.

Hardly surprizing - at the scale of DNA alleles(0.3nm) quantum effects should be ubiquitous. A single allele mutation can cause cancer if not corrected by polymerase. Neither strong determinism nor quantum indeterminism make any sense to me in this scenario.

PS. Do some(all?) cancers arise Schroedinger's cat style? 🤔

Insights auto threads is broken atm, so I'm manually creating these for new Insight articles. Towards the end of the first lecture for the Qiskit Global Summer School 2025, Foundations of Quantum Mechanics, Olivia Lanes (Global Lead, Content and Education IBM) stated...

If we release an electron around a positively charged sphere, the initial state of electron is a linear combination of Hydrogen-like states. According to quantum mechanics, evolution of time would not change this initial state because the potential is time independent. However, classically we expect the electron to collide with the sphere. So, it seems that the quantum and classics predict different behaviours!
