The Quantum Ecology Notebook: where Eric Landen, CEO of Landen Consulting, explores emerging developments, ideas and visions of the interconnected systems that comprise our evolving universe; wherein ecosystems, economic systems, social systems, and metasystems all consciously interact in the energetic dance of Life…
Quantum Ecology Defined:
Quantum ecology is an extension of the emerging field of quantum biology into the relationship-, pattern-, and systems-based areas of inquiry explored by modern ecological science.
Quantum biology refers to applications of quantum mechanics to biological objects and problems. Erwin Schrödinger was one of the first scientists to suggest a study of quantum biology in his 1946 book “What is Life?” Usually, the term is taken to refer to applications of the “non-trivial” quantum features such as superposition, nonlocality, entanglement and tunneling, as opposed to the “trivial” applications such as chemical bonding which apply to biology only indirectly by dictating quantum chemistry.
Quantum ecology extends quantum biological theories and applications (which typically focus on molecular processes, cells, tissues and organs) to the scales and domains covered by the science of ecology: the interactions between individuals, populations, and ecosystems; and the structures, processes, and patterns that are inherent to dynamic living systems.
