RT Journal Article T1 On quantum effects in a theory of biological evolution A1 Martín-Delgado Alcántara, Miguel Ángel AB We construct a descriptive toy model that considers quantum effects on biological evolution starting from Chaitin’s classical framework. There are smart evolution scenarios in which a quantum world is as favorable as classical worlds for evolution to take place. However, in more natural scenarios, the rate of evolution depends on the degree of entanglement present in quantum organisms with respect to classical organisms. If the entanglement is maximal, classical evolution turns out to be more favorable.
