自由基离子对反应是光学双缝实验的生化等价物
Radical-ion-pair reactions are the biochemical equivalent of the optical double slit experiment
摘要：
自由基离子对反应最近被证明是应用量子测量理论方法和概念的丰富的生物物理实验室。我们在这里表明，自由基离子对反应基本上形成一个非线性的生化双缝干涉仪。当“哪条路径”信息有限时，量子相干性效应是可见的，当测量诱导退相干开始时，量子相干性接近非相干极限。基于这种类比与光学双缝实验，我们推导并阐述了自旋选择性自由基离子对反应的基本主方程，该方程涵盖了从完全不相干到最大单重态-三重态相干的连续范围。
英文摘要：
Radical-ion-pair reactions were recently shown to represent a rich biophysical laboratory for the application of quantum measurement theory methods and concepts. We here show that radical-ion-pair reactions essentially form a non-linear biochemical double slit interferometer. Quantum coherence effects are visible when "which-path" information is limited, and the incoherent limit is approached when measurement-induced decoherence sets in. Based on this analogy with the optical double slit experiment we derive and elaborate on the fundamental master equation of spin-selective radical-ion-pair reactions that covers the continuous range from complete incoherence to maximum singlet-triplet coherence.
