About

    Quantum biology is a relatively new and interdisciplinary field that seeks to understand the role of quantum mechanics in biological processes at the molecular and cellular levels. This field explores how quantum phenomena, such as superposition, entanglement, and tunneling, may play a role in essential biological functions like photosynthesis, enzyme reactions, and sensory processing. Researchers in quantum biology aim to uncover how quantum effects may influence the efficiency, sensitivity, and robustness of biological systems, with potential implications for biotechnology and medicine.
