摘要翻译：
理论上，核酸具有一个Szilard引擎功能，它可以将与它们编码识别的分子的香农熵相关的能量转换为核酸分子几何重构的有用功。这个函数在逻辑上是可逆的，因为它的机制从字面上和物理上都是从降低这类分子的香农熵所必需的信息中构造出来的，这意味着这些信息存在于理论引擎的两侧，而且因为信息保留在核酸分子的几何自由度中，所以形成了一个量子门，多态核酸量子比特通过它可以相互作用。由于核酸Szilard引擎(NASE)的对称性破缺而产生的纠缠生物光子可以用来协调细胞内和细胞间不同核酸位置的相对定位，从而为整个生物系统的量子相干提供了潜力。将生物系统理解为这样的“量子自适应系统”的理论含义包括基于多智能体的量子计算的潜力，以及更好地理解与系统量子相干性损失相关的系统病理，如癌症。

英文摘要：
  Nucleic acids theoretically possess a Szilard engine function that can convert the energy associated with the Shannon entropy of molecules for which they have coded recognition, into the useful work of geometric reconfiguration of the nucleic acid molecule. This function is logically reversible because its mechanism is literally and physically constructed out of the information necessary to reduce the Shannon entropy of such molecules, which means that this information exists on both sides of the theoretical engine, and because information is retained in the geometric degrees of freedom of the nucleic acid molecule, a quantum gate is formed through which multi-state nucleic acid qubits can interact. Entangled biophotons emitted as a consequence of symmetry breaking nucleic acid Szilard engine (NASE) function can be used to coordinate relative positioning of different nucleic acid locations, both within and between cells, thus providing the potential for quantum coherence of an entire biological system. Theoretical implications of understanding biological systems as such "quantum adaptive systems" include the potential for multi-agent based quantum computing, and a better understanding of systemic pathologies such as cancer, as being related to a loss of systemic quantum coherence.
