MessageThis is one of the reasons that many scientists have considered quantum
biology both unlikely and unscientific. The thermal noise of biological
systems seemed too great to allow for quantum weirdness; and even if it
could, how on Earth would we study it? But science is the story of
ingenuity's victory over shortsightedness -- and one research team, led by
Gregory S. Engel at UC Berkeley, has devised way to directly detect and
observe quantum-level processes within a cell using high-speed lasers.
They were trying to establish exactly how organic photosynthesis approaches
95% efficiency, whereas the most sophisticated human solar cells operate at
only half that. What they discovered is nothing short of remarkable. Using
femtosecond lasers to follow the movement of light energy through a
photosynthetic bacterial cell, Engel et al. observed the energy traveling
along every possible direction at the same time. Instead of following a
single trajectory like the electrons on a silicon chip, the energy in
photosynthesis explores all of its options and collapses the quantum process
only after the fact, retroactively "deciding" upon the most efficient
pathway.
