Quantum Biology: How Quantum Mechanics Powers Life Itself Quantum mechanics is often confined to the world of atoms and particles—but what if it also explains how life works? Welcome to Quantum Biology , a field that uncovers the hidden role of quantum phenomena in living systems. What Is Quantum Biology? Quantum biology explores how quantum effects—like superposition , tunneling , and entanglement —play a role in biological functions. Unlike classical biology, it doesn’t just describe cells and molecules—it describes the strange behaviors happening inside them. Examples of Quantum Phenomena in Life Photosynthesis Efficiency: Plants and algae use quantum coherence to optimize energy transfer in light-harvesting complexes—achieving near-perfect efficiency. Bird Navigation: Migratory birds may detect Earth’s magnetic field using quantum entanglement in their eyes via proteins called cryptochromes . Enzyme Reactions: Some biochemical reactions occur via quantum ...
