Concept

quantum coherence

A central, glowing orange sphere radiates outward with intricate, web-like patterns and small, bright dots, symbolizing the concept of quantum coherence.

A principle of quantum mechanics where particles exist in a superposition of states, allowing them to explore multiple pathways simultaneously. In biology, researchers are investigating whether this phenomenon explains the extreme speed and efficiency of energy transfer within light-harvesting protein complexes.
