Abstract

In the first part of the thesis, I present a novel model of a quantum hybrid, consisting of two planes interconnected at a single point. We explore the existence and characteristics of normalized ground states within a nonlinear Schrödinger equation, specifically focusing on how these states are influenced by key model parameters. Additionally, we will analyze the distribution of mass across the two planes and examine variations in the strengths of the logarithmic singularities on each plane, as influenced by changes in the matching condition parameters and the powers of the nonlinear terms. In the second part, I present how biological processes reveal abilities which are very impressive and cannot be adequately explained with the only use of traditional (classical) approaches. A certain amount of quantum mechanics is thought to be used by nature in order to enhance the efficiency of the underlying processes. The model used is based on the Schrödinger equation associated to a time-dependent Hamiltonian, describing the propagation of an absorbed photon through a spin-chain towards the reaction center of the photosynthesis apparatus (Spin-Boson model).
