1. EVIDENCE OF QUANTUM COHERENCE

Life is supported by quantum mechanics at the molecular level. Living beings are the most complex structures in the universe and the biological information in charge of managing the different cellular processes represents a true physical element.

There is an enormous difference between the systems of molecular organization that establish living beings and the thermodynamic disorder of the atoms and molecules of inanimate matter. Since forever, humans and animals have been interested in incorporating order into your body through food. This required organizational capacity has been found in plants.

There are already innumerable evidences found that demonstrate the crucial role of quantum effects in the functioning of biological systems: photosynthesis in plants, bacteria and algae, orientation in the navigation of certain birds, functioning of the sense of smell, and so on.

The antenna proteins involved in photosynthesis increase the probability of absorbing photons from sunlight. The captured photons excite the electrons of the chlorophyll molecules, which receive the energy of these photons and ascend to positions farthest from the atomic nucleus. These pigment-protein complexes responsible for photosynthesis present efficient mechanisms to capture sunlight and transmit the excitation energy to reaction centers, where electron donation takes place, long-term energy storage is initiated and light energy into chemical energy is converted. Because certain photosynthetic pigments are in a state of resonance, the excitation energy is transferred from one pigment to another, moving its state of excitation to the next. Quantum coherence is responsible, at room temperature, for the energy transfer to be performed with the least energy loss by dissipation as residual heat. This is possible thanks to the strong correlation between fluctuations of transition energy induced by the protein complexes of neighboring chromophores. The correlated protein environments protect the electronic coherence in the photosynthetic complexes and allow the excitation energy to move quickly and reversibly in space, with the objective of making more efficient the transfer of energy in photosynthetic organisms.

The energy efficiency of photosynthesis results from the quantum superposition of the excited electronic states of the pigment-protein complexes and their quantum wave functions, mathematical representations that contain all the quantifiable information, so they express it. The quantum superposition means that a quantum physical system can exist in different states and places simultaneously. The captured light energy of a photon uses multiple paths at the same time and will always find the shortest path. Each small packet of photons moves through all possible paths, without pointing out where it is at a given moment, until it reaches the reaction centers and resolves then, that the route chosen has been the fastest. These small packages of energy run, simultaneously, all the possible roads to always find the most energy efficient.

Similarly, green sulfur bacteria and most unicellular algae living in very low light have a very efficient system of light collection and energy transfer in
