What Role Do Quantum Coherence and Entanglement Play?
Quantum coherence refers to the ability of quantum systems to exist in multiple states simultaneously, while quantum entanglement involves a connection between particles that allows them to affect each other's states instantaneously. These phenomena could be at play in the cell signaling processes that govern cell proliferation and apoptosis (programmed cell death). Disruptions in these processes can lead to cancer, and understanding quantum interactions could lead to novel therapeutic interventions.
