Quantum Phenomena in Molecular and Biological Systems: A Decoherence-Based Decision Framework With Falsifiable Predictions and a Failure-Mode Taxonomy (Adv. Phys. Res. 8/2026)

Abstract

Quantum Phenomena in Molecular and Biological Systems

The front cover shows a luminous arch inscribed with the Lindblad equation, which links quantum waves, molecular structures, and biological networks. The image captures Sarfaraz K. Niazi's decoherence-based framework for deciding when quantum effects survive, matter, and yield falsifiable predictions in living systems; this is presented in Research Article e00009.
