Περίληψη

Quantum information science has capitalized on the "quantum advantage" in information processing stemming from quantum coherence and entanglement. Naively, it was thought that such advantage pertains only to well-isolated quantum systems carefully engineered by man. Yet again, we now discover that Nature got there first. During her billion-year-old research and development program, Nature has already managed to harness non-trivial quantum effects. In this talk I will demonstrate that two major paradigms establishing the new interdisciplinary science of quantum biology, photosynthesis and avian magnetic compass, are surprisingly apt quantum-information-technology realizations.
