MACROSCOPIC SUPERPOSITIONS REQUIRE TREMENDOUS MEASUREMENT DEVICES

Macroscopic superpositions require tremendous measurement devices

We consider fundamental limits on the detectable size of sophie allport bee curtains macroscopic quantum superpositions.We argue that a full quantum mechanical treatment of system plus measurement device is required, and that a (classical) reference frame for phase or direction needs to be established to certify the quantum state.When taking the si

Modeling Growth Kinetics, Interspecies Cell Fusion, and Metabolism of a Clostridium acetobutylicum/Clostridium ljungdahlii Syntrophic Coculture

ABSTRACT Clostridium acetobutylicum and Clostridium ljungdahlii grown in a syntrophic culture were recently shown to fuse membranes and exchange cytosolic contents, yielding hybrid cells with significant shifts in gene expression and growth phenotypes.Here, we introduce a dynamic genome-scale metabolic modeling framework to explore how cell fusion
