Abstract:
The emerging field of quantum life science combines principles from quantum physics and biology to study fundamental life processes at the molecular level. Quantum mechanics, which describes the properties of small particles, can help explain how quantum phenomena such as tunnelling, superposition, and entanglement may play a role in biological systems. However, capturing these effects in living systems is a formidable challenge, as it involves dealing with dissipation and decoherence caused by the surrounding environment. We overview the current status of the quantum life sciences from technologies and topics in quantum biology. Technologies such as biological nano quantum sensors, quantum technology-based hyperpolarized MRI/NMR, high-speed 2D electronic spectrometers, and computer simulations are being developed to address these challenges. These interdisciplinary fields have the potential to revolutionize our understanding of living organisms and lead to advancements in genetics, molecular biology, medicine, and bioengineering.
