Recent experimental advances, including , have revealed several key areas where quantum mechanics appears to be essential for biological function: The future of quantum biology | Royal Society

Quantum biology is a rapidly advancing interdisciplinary field that explores whether non-trivial quantum phenomena—such as coherence , tunneling , and entanglement —play a functional role in the complex, "warm and wet" environments of living organisms. While all matter is fundamentally quantum, this field specifically investigates biological processes where classical physics alone fails to provide an accurate description.
