Comment on New Discovery: Photosynthesis uses quantum effects

Comments

Well, light is a quantum effect, so...

A more accurate way to put it is that long-lived, coherent quantum states appear to play a role in photosynthesis.

This is surprising because in the laboratory this kind of coherence requires super low temperatures.
