Shahaf S. Asban (University of California, Irvine) | Quantum inference: unravelling “which pathway?” information |Abstract:Quantum systems are remarkably sensitive to changes in their environment. This renders them extraordinary probes for sensing…
Oded Agam (Hebrew University of Jerusalem) | The dynamics of living cells from the viewpoint of a statistical physicist | Abstract: Deciphering the cellular metabolic network is, perhaps, the most prominent objective of…
Naama Brenner (Technion) | Exploratory Learning in Biological Cells |Abstract:The capacity of cells and organisms to respond to challenging conditions is limited by a finite repertoire of repeatable responses. Beyond this capacity,…
