Quantum Biology

Establishing insights into biological processes and their potential to exploit quantum effects such as entanglement, coherence and squeezing is a question of great interest to the quantum science community. So far, experimental demonstrations of quantum physics involve cold matter systems or/and light. It is important to find out if quantum effects persist in hotter, wetter and less controlled environments. Even more relevant is to show that there are biological processes that require quantum theory to reach the efficiencies observed. In this Special Collection, organized by Ivette Fuentes and Philippe Bouyer, we are inviting authors to submit review articles on the recent progress in the field of quantum biology. Topics of interest include quantum behavior in biomolecules, energy transfer in biological systems and coherence in biological systems.

Topics covered include, but are not limited to:
