Quantum Entanglement and Photosynthesis

A recent study at UC Berkeley and Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory has shown that plant photosynthesis uses a quantum entangling effect to transform light into electro-chemical energy. The quantum tunneling effect gives green plants and some bacteria extremely high efficiency (near 100%) during this process.

The research used electron spectroscopy to detect a
"coherent electronic oscillations in both donor and acceptor molecules. These oscillations are generated by the excitation energy from captured solar photons, like the waves formed when stones are tossed into a pond. The wavelike quality of the oscillations enables them to simultaneously sample all the potential energy transfer pathways in the photosynthetic system and choose the most efficient." -- quote from DOE/Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory via science daily
