• Abstract: In this paper, we investigate the effect of chiral-induced spin selectivity (CISS) on the radical pair model of avian magnetoreception. We examine the impact of spin selectivity on the avian compass sensitivity. In this analysis, we also consider the dipolar and exchange interactions and observe their interplay with CISS. We find that CISS results in multifold increase in avian compass sensitivity. Interestingly, we also observe that CISS can counter the deleterious effect of dipolar interaction and increase system sensitivity.The analysis has been performed for both the toy model (only 1 nucleus) and a more general case where we consider 4-nuclei from the cryptochrome radical pair system. We observe that the CISS allows the radical pair model to have a more realistic rate with good sensitivity. We also do analysis of functional window of avian compass reported in behavioral experiments in functional window. We could not find a parameter set where functional window can be observed along with CISS.

  Conical intersections are crossing points or lines between two or more adiabatic electronic potential energy surfaces. We predict significant or measurable non-adiabatic effects in an ultracold atom-ion charge-exchange reaction. In the laser frequency window, where conical interactions are present, the difference in rate coefficients can be as large as $10-9$ cm$3$/s.

  Looming detection plays an important role in insect collision prevention systems. A critical visual motion cue has been long neglected because it is so easy to be confused with expansion, that is radial-opponent-motion (ROM) Recent research on the discovery of LPLC2, a ROM-sensitive neuron in Drosophila, has revealed its ultra-selectivity because it only responds to stimuli with focal, outward movement. In this paper, we investigate the potential to extend an image velocity-based looming detector, the lobula giant movement detector (LGMD), with ROM-sensibility.

• Chiral-induced spin selectivity augments quantum coherence in avian compass [0.0]
  We investigate the effect of chiral-induced spin selectivity (CISS) on quantum spin coherence in the radical pair mechanism of avian magnetoreception. We find that both the relative entropy of global coherence and local coherence in the radical pair increases with CISS. We conclude that a high CISS results in a high correlation of global coherence with signaling state yield.

  Magnetic field effects (MFE) in certain chemical reactions have been well established in the last five decades. We employ elaborate and realistic models of radical-pairs, considering its coupling to the local spin environment and the sensor. For two model systems, we derive signals of MFE detectable even in the weak coupling regime between radical-pair and NV quantum sensor.

  We experimentally investigate individual spin dynamics in a two-dimensional ensemble of electron spins on the surface of a diamond crystal. We show that this anomalously slow relaxation rate is due to the presence of strong dynamical disorder. Our work paves the way towards microscopic study and control of quantum thermalization in strongly interacting disordered spin ensembles.

• Observations about utilitarian coherence in the avian compass [0.0]
  It is hypothesised that the avian compass relies on spin dynamics in a recombining radical pair. Quantum coherence has been suggested as a resource to this process that nature may utilise to achieve increased compass sensitivity. We investigate realistically large radical pair models with up to 21 nuclear spins, inspired by the putative magnetosensory protein cryptochrome.
