Life is built on quantum mechanics, but evidence suggests it may also harness quantum effects for functional advantage. Photosynthesis shows signatures of long-lived coherence enabling near-perfect energy transfer. Birds may navigate using entangled electron spins in magnetoreception. Enzymes and olfaction hint at tunneling mechanisms beyond classical physics. Some theories even propose quantum coherence in the brain. By linking quantum processes to biological complexity, entropy, and adaptation, this essay argues that life is deeply quantum, and that new experiments are needed to reveal its hidden mechanisms.
