We explore the emerging field of quantum biology, studying how quantum mechanics influences biological processes. We discuss the historical development of the field, starting with early quantum pioneers like Schrödinger and Bohr, who questioned whether quantum mechanics could explain life. We then trace the progression of quantum biology, highlighting key discoveries such as the observation of quantum coherence in photosynthesis and quantum tunneling in enzyme action, radical pair mechanism in birds, and also olfaction. We also examine the future of quantum biology, suggesting that a deeper understanding of how nature harnesses quantum effects could revolutionize technologies in energy, sensing, and health.
