Introduction to Chemical Reaction Networks

We introduce the theory of chemical reaction networks and their relation to stochastic Petri nets — important ways of modeling population biology and many other fields.

Techniques from Quantum Mechanics

We explain how techniques from quantum mechanics can be used to study these models. This relies on a profound and still mysterious analogy between quantum theory and probability theory, which we explore in detail.

Key Results

We also give a tour of key results concerning chemical reaction networks and Petri nets.
