There's certainly evidence of quantum biological machinery--it is believed to be behind the efficiency of photosynthesis, for example: https://www.sciencedaily.com/releases/2018/05/180521131756.h...

And why not? Life doesn't care if a physical effect is quantum or not!



That is apparently wrong [0]. I recently heard a podcast with some of the scientists involved. They were very frustrated with how hard it had been to get any attention at all for the negative result compared with the original research.

Is it possible that there are quantum effects in the brain too? And could that perhaps explain schizophrenia? (only half-joking)
