Eigen model as a quantum spin chain: exact dynamics
Abstract
We map Eigen model of biological evolution [Naturwissenschaften 58, 465 (1971)] into a one-dimensional quantum spin model with non-Hermitean Hamiltonian. Based on such a connection, we derive exact relaxation periods for the Eigen model to approach static energy landscape from various initial conditions. We also study a simple case of dynamic fitness function.
