Abstract:
Applying methods of theoretical physics to questions in biology is gradually becoming a mainstream practice. In the coming years, this new modus operandi may reveal insights to questions once thought unanswerable. The connections between theoretical physics, life and consciousness will be explored. The author
will then provide a brief explanation of the resurgence in research of quantum spin chains, tractable non-classical physical models that may be scaled up to model biochemical and cellular behavior. Following will be a survey of the most seminal models in this field and the methods used to solve find solutions analytically. To conclude, the numerical and analytical results of the of the Alternating Anisotropic XY Quantum Spin chain will be presented. The results will highlight the invariance of the ground state energy with respect to anisotropy of this model, a divergence from previous models.
