Scientific Video Protocols, 2020 Prof. Jim-Al-Khalili explains the emerging field of quantum biology and discusses how this new discipline has developed from its inception in the 1920s until fruition in the late 1990s with the discovery of quantum effects in magnetoreception, olfaction, enzyme catalysis, and photosynthesis.

The future of quantum biology [PDF]
Journal of The Royal Society Interface, 2018 Biological systems are dynamical, constantly exchanging energy and matter with the environment in order to maintain the non-equilibrium state synonymous with living. Developments in observational techniques have allowed us to study biological dynamics on increasingly small scales. Such studies have revealed evidence of quantum mechanical effects, which

Thermodynamics and Inflammation: Insights into Quantum Biology and Ageing
Quantum Reports, 2022 Inflammation as a biological concept has been around a long time and derives from the Latin “to set on fire” and refers to the redness and heat, and usually swelling, which accompanies injury and infection.

Quantum physics meets biology [PDF]
HFSP Journal, 2009 Quantum physics and biology have long been regarded as unrelated disciplines, describing nature at the inanimate microlevel on the one hand and living species on the other hand. Over the last decades the life sciences have succeeded in providing ever more and refined explanations of macroscopic phenomena that were based on an improved understanding of ...

Diamond Quantum Devices in Biology [PDF]
Angewandte Chemie International Edition, 2016 AbstractThe currently available techniques for molecular imaging capable of reaching atomic resolution are limited to low temperatures, vacuum conditions, or large amounts of sample. Quantum sensors based on the spin‐dependent photoluminescence of nitrogen‐vacancy (NV) centers in diamond offer great potential to achieve single‐molecule detection with ...
