Description

This book presents the hotly debated question of whether quantum mechanics plays a non-trivial role in biology.

In a timely way, it sets out a distinct quantum biology agenda.

The burgeoning fields of nanotechnology, biotechnology, quantum technology, and quantum information processing are now strongly converging.

The acronym BINS, for Bio-Info-Nano-Systems, has been coined to describe the synergetic interface of these several disciplines.

The living cell is an information replicating and processing system that is replete with naturally-evolved nanomachines, which at some level require a quantum mechanical description.

As quantum engineering and nanotechnology meet, increasing use will be made of biological structures, or hybrids of biological and fabricated systems, for producing novel devices for information storage and processing and other tasks.

An understanding of these systems at a quantum mechanical level will be indispensable.
