Quantum Biology - Community Project

This is a new community project to investigate and learn about Quantum Biology.

What is Quantum Biology? It refers to applications of quantum mechanics (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Quantum_mechanics) to biological objects and problems. Usually, it is taken to refer to applications of the "non-trivial" quantum features such as superposition (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Quantum_superposition), nonlocality (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Action_at_a_distance_%28physics%29), entanglement (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Quantum_entanglement) and tunneling (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Quantum_tunneling), as opposed to the "trivial" but ubiquitous quantum mechanical nature of chemical bonding (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chemical_bonding), ionization (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ionization), and other phenomena that are the basis of the fundamental biophysics (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Biophysics) and biochemistry (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Biochemistry) of organisms.

We will be learning as a group and working on hardward and computational issues.

As a group we decided to meet bi-weekly - every other week with the next meeting on Dec 6th, at 2pm.

Our initial goal is to make Quantum Salinity Detector, which is a first step to creating a quantum device and this will be a first step at designing and calibrating a device.

This meeting is open to all ages, and free to attend.
