Summary
It has been suggested that quantum phenomena may play an important role in biological processes as varied as photosynthesis, bird migration or how we smell. However, there remains a lack of consensus on whether such quantum effects truly exist or are viable from a physical perspective. At the birthplace of quantum physics, we will meet to to debate these contentious but fascinating issues.
