Quantum Biology
Quantum Biology is an emerging field that explores how quantum mechanics influences biological processes. It examines phenomena such as photosynthesis, where plants convert sunlight into energy, and how certain animals navigate using Earth's magnetic field. These processes may involve quantum effects like superposition and entanglement, which are typically associated with particles at the atomic level.
Researchers in Quantum Biology aim to understand the role of quantum phenomena in life at a molecular scale. This includes studying enzymes, DNA, and proteins to uncover how quantum mechanics might enhance efficiency and accuracy in biological functions, potentially leading to advancements in medicine and technology.
