This book presents the hotly debated question of whether quantum
mechanics plays a non-trivial role in biology. In a timely way, it
sets out a distinct quantum biology agenda. The burgeoning fields
of nanotechnology, biotechnology, quantum technology, and quantum
information processing are now strongly converging. The acronym
BINS, for Bio-Info-Nano-Systems, has been coined to describe the
synergetic interface of these several disciplines. The living cell
is an information replicating and processing system that is replete
with naturally-evolved nanomachines, which at some level require a
quantum mechanical description. As quantum engineering and
nanotechnology meet, increasing use will be made of biological
structures, or hybrids of biological and fabricated systems, for
producing novel devices for information storage and processing and
other tasks. An understanding of these systems at a quantum
mechanical level will be indispensable.
