Terahertz radiation induces non-thermal structural changes associated with Fröhlich condensation in a protein crystal

Whether long-range quantum coherent states could exist in biological systems, and beyond low-temperature regimes where quantum physics is known to be applicable, has been the subject to debate for decades. It was proposed by Fröhlich that vibrational modes within protein molecules can order and cond...
