    "title": "A Quantum Statistical Model of Decision Making in a Single-Cell Eukaryote",
    "subtitle": null,
    "abstract": "The single-celled protist Stentor roselii has long been observed to exhibit complex decision-making behaviors, yet existing machine learning and classical computational models have struggled to replicate its actions. In this paper, we propose a novel quantum-statistical framework to model S. roselii's behavioral responses to environmental stimuli. By leveraging quantum circuits with amplitude dampening and memory effects, we construct a quantum behavioral model that captures the probabilistic and hierarchical nature of S. roselii's decision making. Our results suggest that quantum statistical theory provides a powerful tool for representing and simulating biological decision processes.",
