Overview
This course explores the potential impact of quantum mechanics on biological processes, delving into theories such as superposition and quantum tunnelling. The goal is to challenge traditional views in biology and physics, demonstrating how quantum phenomena may influence various aspects of life, from protein folding to photosynthesis. The teaching method involves a lecture format with in-depth explanations and examples, including the famous double slit experiment. This course is intended for individuals interested in the intersection of physics and biology, seeking to understand how quantum principles could revolutionize our understanding of life at a molecular level.
