Introduction

The standard mathematical methods were originally developed to serve classical physics. The real analysis served as the mathematical basis of Newtonian mechanics (Newton, 1687)[1] (and later Hamiltonian formalism); classical statistical mechanics stimulated the measure-theoretic approach to probability theory, formalized in Kolmogorov’s axiomatics (Kolmogorov, 1933)[2]. However, behavior of biological systems differ essentially from behavior of mechanical systems, say rigid bodies, gas molecules, or fluids. Therefore, although the “classical mathematics” still plays the crucial role in biological modeling, it seems that it cannot fully describe the rich complexity of biosystems and peculiarities of their behavior — as compared with mechanical systems. New mathematical methods for modeling biosystems are on demand.(a,b)

In this paper, we present the applications of the mathematical formalism of quantum mechanics and its methodology to modeling biosystems’ behavior.(c) The recent years were characterized by explosion of interest to applications of quantum theory outside of physics, especially in cognitive psychology, decision making, information processing in the brain, molecular biology, genetics and epigenetics, and evolution theory.4 We call the corresponding models quantum-like. They are not directed to micro-level modeling of real quantum physical processes in biosystems, say in cells or brains (cf. with biological applications of genuine quantum physical theory Penrose 1989,[3] Umezawa 1993,[4] Hameroff 1994,[5] Vitiello 1995,[6] Vitiello 2001,[7] Arndt et al., 2009,[8] Bernroider and Summhammer 2012,[9] Bernroider 2017[10]). Quantum-like modeling works from the viewpoint to quantum theory as a measurement theory. This is the original Bohr’s viewpoint that led to the Copenhagen interpretation of quantum mechanics (see Plotnitsky, 2009[11] for detailed and clear presentation of Bohr’s views). One of the main bio-specialties is consideration of self-measurements that biosystems perform on themselves. In our modeling, the ability to perform self-measurements is considered as the basic feature of biological functions (see Section 8.2 and paper Khrennikov et al., 2018[12]).

Quantum-like models (Khrennikov, 2004b[13]) reflect the features of biological processes that naturally match the quantum formalism. In such modeling, it is useful to explore quantum information theory, which can be applied not just to the micro-world of quantum systems. Generally, systems processing information in the quantum-like manner need not be quantum physical systems; in particular, they can be macroscopic biosystems. Surprisingly, the same mathematical theory can be applied at all biological scales: from proteins, cells and brains to humans and ecosystems; we can speak about quantum information biology (Asano et al., 2015a[14]).

In quantum-like modeling, quantum theory is considered as calculus for prediction and transformation of probabilities. Quantum probability (QP) calculus (Section 2) differs essentially from classical probability (CP) calculus based on Kolmogorov’s axiomatics (Kolmogorov, 1933[15]). In CP, states of random systems are represented by probability measures and observables by random variables; in QP, states of random systems are represented by normalized vectors in a complex Hilbert space (pure states) or generally by density operators (mixed states).5 Superpositions represented by pure states are used to model uncertainty which is yet unresolved by a measurement. The use of superpositions in biology is illustrated by Fig. 1 (see Section 10 and paper Khrennikov et al., 2018[12] for the corresponding model). The QP-update resulting from an observation is based on the projection postulate or more general transformations of quantum states — in the framework of theory of quantum instruments (Davies and Lewis, 1970[16], Davies, 1976[17], Ozawa, 1984[18], Yuen, 1987[19], Ozawa, 1997[20], Ozawa, 2004[21], Okamura and Ozawa, 2016[22]) (Section 3).
