This technical monograph provides a comprehensive overview of the field of quantum biology. It approaches quantum biology from a physical perspective with core quantum mechanical concepts presented foremost to provide a theoretical foundation for the field. An extensive body of research is covered to clarify the significance of quantum biology as a scientific field, outlining the field's long-standing importance in the historical development of quantum theory. This lays the essential groundwork to enable further advances in nanomedicine and biotechnology. Written for academics, biological science researchers, physicists, biochemists, medical technologists, and students of quantum mechanics, this text brings clarity to fundamental advances being made in the emerging science of quantum biology.

Quantum biology is a thriving field of research that requires from constant theoretical impulse to be able to keep the pace of the experimental observations. In this thesis, the tools from the theory of open quantum systems are applied in an effort to understand the behaviour and propose new insights for two such biological systems. The interest lies not only in the possibility that quantum effects are beneficial, or even essential for life processes, but also in the extent to which the field unites several different research domains in an interdisciplinary exercise that could prove revolutionary, both in pure biology and on the technological applications it might lead to.

There is no doubt that quantum mechanics has become one of the building blocks of our physical world today. It is one of the most rapidly growing fields of science that can potentially change every aspect of our life. Quantum biology is one of the most essential parts of this era which can be considered as a game-changer in medicine especially in the field of cancer. Despite quantum biology having gained more attention during the last decades, there are still so many unanswered questions concerning cancer biology and so many unpaved roads in this regard. This review paper is an effort to answer the question of how biological phenomena such as cancer can be described through the quantum mechanical framework. In other words, is there a correlation between cancer biology and quantum mechanics, and how? This literature review paper reports on the recently published researches based on the principles of quantum physics with focus on cancer biology and metabolism.
