Quantum optical coherence in cytoskeletal microtubules: implications for brain function.

Biosystems 1994 Mari Jibu, S Hagan, S R Hameroff et al.

'Laser-like,' long-range coherent quantum phenomena may occur biologically within cytoskeletal microtubules. This paper presents a theoretical prediction of the occurrence in biological media of the phenomena which we term 'superradiance' and 'self-induced transparency'. Interactions between the electric dipole field of water molecules confined within the hollow core of microtubules and the...
