Abstract

The Quantum biology is a new branch of science
that is born to explain situations in which classical physics cannot accurately
give an accurate description of the interactions of the cell with its interior
and environment. Despite this simple definition, the debate about the
scientific aims and role of this field continues. This paper provides a
perspective on where quantum biology stands today and is intended to provide
the reader with a picture between the world of imagination and scientific
realities, anticipating potential ways of further progress in this field,
existing debates, and some future science fiction.

Kuantum Biyolojisi

Abstract

Kuantum biyolojisi, kuantum teorisinin, klasik fiziğin
doğru bir tanım veremediği, biyolojinin yönlerine uygulanmasıdır. Bu basit
tanımlamaya rağmen, bu alanın bilimsel amaçları ve rolü hakkında tartışmalar
devam etmektedir. Bu makale, kuantum biyolojisinin bugün nerede durduğuna dair
bir perspektif sunar ve bu alanda daha fazla ilerleme için potansiyel yolları,
var olan tartışmaları ve birazda bilim kurgu sayılabilecek ileri zamanları
tahmin etmek, okuyucuya hayal dünyası ile bilimsel gerçekler arasında bir resim
sunmaktadır.
