Jim Al-Khalili rounds up the extremely new, extremely strange world of quantum biology, where something Einstein once called "spooky action at a distance" helps birds navigate, and quantum effects might explain the origin of life itself.
Nov 7, 2014 · Yet, as Jim Al-Khalili and Johnjoe McFadden show in their groundbreaking book, evidence is accumulating that life uses quantum effects for processes ranging from bird navigation and plant ...
Dec 12, 2018 · The status of quantum biology changed dramatically in the last decades of the twentieth and early twenty-first centuries with sound experimental evidence for quantum coherence in photosynthesis and quantum tunnelling in enzyme action, together with strong theoretical arguments and some experimental evidence supporting the role of quantum ...

Guiding the reader through the maze of rapidly unfolding discovery, Al-Khalili and McFadden communicate vividly the excitement of this explosive new field of quantum biology, with its potentially revolutionary applications, and also offer insights into the biggest puzzle of all: what is life?
Dec 14, 2018 · In a paper published by the Royal Society journal, Proceedings A, The origins of quantum biology, we examine nearly 100 years of pioneering and improbable questions about the relationship between the fuzzy and almost magical world of quantum physics and the rigid and organised field of biology.
Bringing together first-hand experience of science at the cutting edge of science with unparalleled gifts of exposition and explanation, Jim Al-Khalili and Johnjoe Macfadden reveal the hitherto missing ingredient to be quantum mechanics and the strange phenomena that lie at the heart of this explosive new field.

TLDR. This work adopted the formalism of the quantum computation to the quantum beats in the FMO protein complex, and suggested an explanation for the factor of \ (10^8\) discrepancy between the single flux qubit coherence time and the long-time quantum behaviour of an array of thousand flux qubits.
