Experimental Realizations of Integrable Reaction-Diffusion Processes in Biological and Chemical Systems

摘要

Stochastic reaction-diffusion processes may be presented in terms ofintegrable quantum chains and can be used to describe various biological andchemical systems. Exploiting the integrability of the models one finds in somecases good agreement between experimental and exact theoretical data. This isshown for the Rubinstein-Duke model for gel-electrophoresis of DNA, theasymmetric exclusion process as a model for the kinetics of biopolymerizationand the coagulation-diffusion model for exciton dynamics on TMMC chains.
