Understanding Quantum Biological Processes

Quantum biological processes are an emerging area of research that explores how quantum mechanics plays a role in biological systems. Unlike classical biology, this field investigates phenomena where quantum effects such as superposition and entanglement could influence biological functions. For instance, in photosynthesis, the efficiency of energy transfer appears to involve quantum coherence, allowing plants to optimize light absorption.

Understanding these processes is essential for appreciating how nature harnesses quantum mechanics to achieve remarkable efficiencies. Researchers are actively studying how quantum coherence and entanglement might be involved in processes such as enzyme activity, avian navigation, and even human cognition.
