The mechanism underlying magnetoreception has long eluded explanation. A popular
hypothesis attributes this sense to the quantum coherent spin dynamics and spin-selective …

The magnetic compass sense of migratory songbirds is thought to derive from magnetically
sensitive photochemical reactions in cryptochromes located in photoreceptor cells in the …

In this paper, we outline a physically motivated framework for describing spin-selective
recombination processes in chiral systems, from which we derive spin-selective reaction …

This study explores the impact of thermal motion on the magnetic compass mechanism in
migratory birds, focusing on the radical pair mechanism within cryptochrome photoreceptors …

We realize arbitrary-wave-form-based control of spin-selective recombination reactions of
radical pairs in the low-magnetic-field regime. To this end, we extend the gradient-ascent …

Radical pairs (electron–hole pairs, polaron pairs) are transient reaction intermediates that
are found and exploited in all areas of science, from the hard realm of physics in the form of …

The chemical reactivity of radical pairs is strongly influenced by the interactions of electronic
and nuclear spins. A detailed understanding of these effects requires a quantum description …

We investigate the quantum dynamics of a spin coupling to a bath of independent spins via
the dissipaton equation of motion (DEOM) approach. The bath, characterized by a …

Optimal control of the external electromagnetic field input for the maximization of the
quantum triplet-singlet yield of the radical pairs in biochemical reactions modeled by …

Electron spin relaxation is, on many occasions, considered an elephant in the room that
challenges the idea of a radical-pair compass, a leading hypothesis for the navigation of …
