Quantum Superpowers of Plants

The ordinary plants around us, the ones we often take for granted, are performing quantum magic, just like a scene straight out of a Science Fiction. Ever heard of Bose-Einstein condensates? This bizarre fifth state of matter is typically formed when a gas of bosons at very low densities is cooled to temperatures very close to absolute zero. Here's the kicker - this quantum spectacle is taking place right in front of us- at room temperature. During photosynthesis, light excites an electron in plants, creating an "exciton." This exciton delivers energy within the plant along a unique path that mimics a state of matter typically found in extreme cold conditions. Remarkably, plants are performing this quantum feat at room temperature! So next time you look at a plant, remember, it's not just a plant, it's a quantum marvel!
