Quantum Aspects of Life, a book published in 2008 with a foreword by Roger Penrose, explores the open question of the role of quantum mechanics at molecular scales of relevance to biology.
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.

Jul 1, 2009 · The idea that quantum mechanics can explain many fundamental aspects of life is resurging, as Paul Davies reveals. Quantum of life. To a physicist, life seems little short of miraculous — all those stupid atoms getting together to perform such clever tricks! For centuries, living organisms were regarded as some sort of magic matter.
Jan 1, 2011 · Quantum Aspects of Life tackles them head-on, and does so from many different directions. The book consists of 16 chapters by specialists and two chapters that take the form of debates, together with a Foreword by Sir Roger Penrose and a Preface by the editors which together set the scene and orientate the reader for what follows.
