Quantum biology goes beyond quantum coherence. While plants use quantum coherence for energy transfer, microtubules in neurons have exhibited quantum energy transfer, but this does not suggest a role in consciousness as a distributed process.
We do not deny that quantum effects play a role in biology
Conference Paper Quantum Effects in Biological Systems
The argument is how to define quantum biology so that information is not defined through information theory in the sense of Shannon(1948) but through subjective physicalism. This requires more than just quantum information; it requires the functionality of “information quanta, hence, quantum information science.
Quantum biology differs from quantum physics in that quantum dynamics involving intrinsic quantum processes are causal but diffused within fluctuations. Resonance energy is when temperature affects the quantum state, becoming a resonant state in open quantum systems. Resonance states are subjected to irreversible time evolution, represented by the density matrix, but quantum mechanics is still a generalized version of Hilbert spaces, so we must use quantum-like approaches to understand quantum diffusion.
We are here to redefine quantum biology. Is quantum biology "quantum-like"? With "Quantum-like," one can move toward QBism (classical analog) or away from QBism (quantum analog).
We exclude the role of quantum Bayesian (QBism) in quantum information biology because the subjective interpretation of information states excludes the subjective interpretation of quantum physics.
Here is my definition: Quantum biology has two important roles: (1) to explore quantum dynamics in biological systems and (2) to explore how the intrinsic quantum processes play a role in our understanding of information as subjective physicalism.
Note: Quantum entanglement could also cause the irreversibility of time, but this is based on the premise that the brain is a quantum brain. Quantum brain dynamics assumes the idea of an isolated quantum brain which is against the construct of consciousness. Therefore, we avoid reference to “quantum brain” or “quantum consciousness”
Dear Roman Poznansky Don't pay too much attention to what Cosmi says. When you read his comments from Bottom Up and Top Down, what emerges is a disaster without ideas. They are trying to provoke us in a controlled manner.
Cosmi's diagnostic skills also improved, despite having no specialties or fields. A big mistake... The person he describes as having bipolar disorder is a senior and disciplined scientist. Here are some of this scientist's researches... He is unaware of these.
He has spent years in research at the interface of visual neuroscience and mathematical modeling. His main research began on the modeling of retinal mechanisms in visual perception in close collaboration with W.R. Levick from the John Curtin School of Medicine, Australian National University in Canberra. He subsequently developed a more accurate model of a starburst amacrine cell in order to show how direction-selectivity is processed by a network of these cells. His modeling work was the first to rigorously predict a locus of retinal direction selectivity; this prediction has been validated experimentall
His most significant achievements include:
(i) First to pinpoint the neural circuitry underlying retinal motion perception in mammals. [27,1,8]
(ii) First to show that conduction velocities in dendrites are non-constant [15]. This theoretical result showed that sparse distribution of ionic channels will determine how information is processed differently in the dendrites of neurons as opposed to those in axons. Solitary traveling waves in axons as envisaged by the Hodgkin-Huxley model are replaced by dissipative waves that are conducive for the rich-logic requirements in cognitive information processing. [16, 17]
(iii) First to solve the most difficult partial differential equations in classical neurophysiology-the Frankenhaeuser-Huxely equations [9]
First to construct synaptically and gap-junctionally connected neural networks with ionic channels in dendritic cable structures. Such models have been applied to brain function through the development of large-scale brain cell assemblies [12, 19, 22]
(v) First to introduce the conceptual idea that cognition is determined by how the distribution of endogenous proteins (e.g., ion channels) and synaptic inputs along the dendrites of neurons is integrated with the collective behavior of a large population of neurons grouped together as assemblies [10]
(vi) First to propose and develop nested neural network models for fMRI [7]
(vii) First to debunk the assumption of isopotentiality of small compartments (under 0.2λ) as a result of significant thermal noise [5]

Dear Roman Poznansky Quantum physics began to study the behavior of subatomic particles in the 20th century. This is true, yes you are right, but progress has been made in the field of quantum physics in the 21st century. This period was a time when the theoretical foundations of quantum mechanics were transformed into practical applications and new technologies. For example, quantum computers, quantum cryptography, quantum sensors, quantum simulation, this is what we want to explain in the preface. Kauntum I will add biology
We are pleased to receive this kind review from you and thank you very much for your guidance.

Dear Roman Poznansky
Thank you very much for reading my foreword carefully and providing your feedback. In providing an introduction to quantum technology, I aimed to make the subject accessible and understandable for both scientists and those new to the field. In doing so, I chose to focus on practical applications and the potential effects of the technology in our daily lives This approach may have caused some readers to view me more as an engineer.
However, I am aware of how important scientific research and theoretical depth are, especially to understand and develop a complex field such as quantum technology. As a scientist, I wanted to offer a perspective on how research can be translated into real-world applications.

Dear Roman Poznansky
I fully acknowledge the complexity and controversial nature of the application of quantum mechanics to computers and the potential consequences of this application. The ideas I express in my book aim to provide a framework for exploring the limits and potential of quantum computers and quantum technology. I am aware that the relationship between consciousness and quantum computers is a topic that is still actively researched and discussed.
The book's central argument is based on the idea that the advancement of technology and the evolution of quantum computers can offer new perspectives on complex and not yet fully understood phenomena such as consciousness. However, I am also aware that this debate needs to be addressed within a broad spectrum that still continues in the fields of science and philosophy.
The subject of consciousness is an area open to a wide range of interpretation and theory, especially at the intersection of science, philosophy and technology. Therefore, discussing the potential effects of quantum technology on consciousness is both an exciting and challenging undertaking. Insights from critical thinkers like you can help us understand these issues more deeply and push the boundaries of science and technology in general.
I would like to note that my book hopes to contribute to these discussions and initiate a broader dialogue on the subject. Thank you again for sharing your views and inviting us to think about these important issues. "Being part of ongoing discussions in the world of science and technology encourages us to expand our knowledge and understanding.
Technological advances, especially in cognitive research, allow us to access previously inaccessible data and better understand the complexity of the human mind. Discovery of potential applications of quantum mechanics may likewise lead to the development of new scientific theories and technologies.
However, based on your statement that "the book is wrong", the perspective I put forward in the book is a speculative exploration of the potential applications of quantum technologies and explores the possible ways these technologies can contribute to human consciousness and cognitive processes. Our answers to such questions will evolve over time as science and technology advance, especially in light of new knowledge obtained in research in cognitive sciences.
