Understanding of light based quantum processes in selected biomaterial from the brain, microtubules, and cells
Abstract
Light salient properties of polarization, wavelength and spatial modes has play an important role in understanding the fundamental processes in materials and to advance applications in photodetection sensing, information, communication and future computers. Pure and mixed photon states can probe the material regions locally and non- locally. An experimental and theoretical optical physics research project is proposed on understanding quantum processes and coherent energy transfer and the effects in biomaterials such as key parts brain tissue, microtubules, cells and anesthetic alternations in brain tissue. These are based on quantum theory using optical Vector beams in steady state and time resolved optical spectroscopy. We plan to use label free fluorescence and resonance Raman spectroscopy; terahertz spectroscopy and coherent classical and quantum entangled beams to study quantum processes. In particular, we will investigate optical based processes and the role of photons in the transport of quasiparticles of dressed photons, classical and quantum entangled photons, excitons and optical phonons in bio structures and biomolecules in brain and mitochondria such as cytochrome c oxidase, tubulin in microtubules, and other key molecules of tryptophan aggregates in brain tissues, cells and cell components. Key biological questions regarding quantum and coherence processes will be addressed using optical and photon based methods. We will continue to expand upon our preliminary introduction of Majorana photons propagating in brain media and condensed media from a class of vector photon beams where the state and complex transpose are identical ? = ? * for various applications
