For those interested in how quantum coherence/entanglement may be generated in very hot, noisy, systems which are not at all environmentally isolated, here is another recent reference - Persistent dynamic entanglement from classical motion: How bio-molecular machines can generate non-trivial

A recent posting on 'http://physicsworld.com' revisits a topic - quantum coherence in messy, warm, environmentally coupled systems - which until several years ago was dismissed as very impossible --- until decoherence-protected subspaces were discovered. See: Proteins boost quantum coherence in

Fifteen years ago I visited someone at Daresbury in the UK to talk about coherent vibrations in living organisms. One of the things that he was working on was the light harvesting complexes in bacteria, and he said at the time that he felt that that was where we were most likely to find

Well vorticians assorted nootropes - imagine this for a near-future breakthrough: gene doping with quantum coherence proteins hybridized by Penrose... ... adds another layer of suspicion that Gilroy got it right in a recent film, possibly without knowing how prescient he was ...

I am far from convinced that Penrose is correct in identifying the tubulin within microtubules as a location for quantum coherence. A couple of more promising starting points are the water that you find adjacent to charged surfaces such as microtubules or more particularly DNA. And there is
