Abstract :
By the use of quantum biology and quantum optics, laser-induced potential variation of cell membranes has been studied. Theoretically, the authors have found a method of calculating the monophoton and multiphoton processes (nonlinear) in the formation of the anomalous potentials of cell membranes. In contrast with experimental results, the authors´ numerical result is of the same order. Therefore, they have found the possibility of cancer caused by laser-induced anomalous membrane potential, and also found the possibility of physiotherapy by laser-excited anomalous potential in relation to the normal one
