Description

Strange things! Of vital importance are quantum paradoxes, beyond the limits of understanding. Physicists and chemists are now accustomed to encountering Quantum Mechanics in their work, but biologists, until now, didn't "worry" about this strange yet powerful theory of the subatomic world. However, times are changing. Welcome to the realm of Quantum Biology!

The "sneaky" enzymes never for a moment stopped using the quantum tunneling phenomenon to accelerate life's chemical reactions. The "smart" plants never for a moment ceased to exploit quantum coherence to feed their precious cells with life-giving light as efficiently as possible.

Migratory birds, in flight, do not "switch off" the quantum entanglement for even a second – the magical phenomenon that Einstein called "spooky action at a distance" – as they "pilot" carefree within the Earth's magnetic field. And the question is posed relentlessly: How do the "fragile" phenomena of quantum mechanics – which until recently we thought were confined to sterile laboratory environments at temperatures nearly at absolute zero – manage to "survive" in our humid, warm, biological world?
