The paper applies a quantum-classical model to explain Bicoid morphogen gradient dynamics and its interpretation by the Hunchback gene in Drosophila embryos.
The paper proposes that Bcd gradient formation in Drosophila embryos could serve as a signature of quantum gravity through non-Gaussianity creation in a multipartite quantum system.
This paper uses an open quantum system approach to model Bicoid gradient dynamics, showing it matches previous results and explains transcription factor search times without requiring 3D diffusion.
The paper uses a quantum walk model to show that Bicoid gradient interpretation by hunchback occurs within less than a second, aligning with experimental observations.
