Entanglement and sources of magnetic anisotropy in radical pair-based avian magnetoreceptors.
One of the principal models of magnetic sensing in migratory birds rests on the quantum spin dynamics of transient radical pairs created photochemically in ocular cryptochrome proteins. We consider here the role of electron spin entanglement and coherence in determining the sensitivity of a radical...
