Over the past years we have been applying quantum optical techniques to various biological problems such as: The detection of biopathogens, e.g., anthrax 1 and the SARS-CoV-2 virus 2. On the theoretical front, I will discuss the application of quantum mechanics to other biological problems, such as the possible connection between quantum coherence in brain microtubules 3 and superradiance 4,5. 1 "FAST CARS: Engineering a laser spectroscopic technique for rapid identification of bacterial spores," M.
