Your nose uses quantum tunnelling to smell! This crazy conclusion comes from the latest interpretations of the evidence about how our smell receptors detect odour molecules. This video summarises the two models of smell: shape theory and vibration theory, and concludes that you need both to explain how we smell.

The problem with quantum biology is that it has an explanation for everything and is not testable or specific. So the reason we can't smell things that are cold is simply because when there's less humidity there's less volatile compounds in the air so less compounds a nose can detect. So when molecules move across a cell membrane parts of it can fit into a receptor. The volatile compound doesn't stop reacting with the nose after it reacts with one part of it, it keeps moving along the nasal passage and most probably another part of the molecule reacts with the nose receptors. This makes the compound have a more complex smell. Smell is more like the rods and cones cells in your eyes. You have specific cells and receptors that can recognize specific functional groups aldehydes, esters, alcohols, ketones, thiols, etc. These combinations lead to different smells

@pyropulse I understand you want quantum biology to explain sense of smell, probably many other things too, but you said it yourself, life is complex so something so simple most likely wouldn't suffice for the answer. The prevailing theory on smell is what I just described. If you've ever smelled formaldehyde you know it has a very distinct strong smell. Most chemicals that are just a functional group or only has one functional group are particularly sharp when detected that's how we know functional groups are what interacts with nose receptors. All you have to do is Google "how does sense of smell work" and you'll see I didn't just pull this out the air. Actually I learned this in undergrad in my behavioral psychology and neuroscience class. I have nothing to gain from making false statements.

That also means taste is effected by quantum physics, it's been stated quite a lot that heavy water tastes sweet. Also with mirrored molecules, it should make a tiny difference how they are since the atoms outside of the benzene ring interact with each other in a very small manner. Or as you said, they just do both.
@domainofscience

Yeah I'm unsure. There is a large smell component to taste, so it could be that heavy water actually smells different, but tastes the same. I think taste receptors work differently to smell receptors, but I'm going to have to look that up! :D

Love the video, thanks! I wonder how you would explain varying smelling ability. For example, dogs can smell seizures coming - presumably chemical changes in the body prior to a seizure. But, even staying within the human species, there are people with more adept senses of smell. More receptors? Ability to sense different vibrations? Interested in your thoughts. Thanks again - love the mapping.

From my research here are a few bonus facts: Bloodhounds have a 40x larger olfactory epithelium, and so physically more smell neurons, plus a larger area of their brain dedicated to smell. Bears have the best noses, 7 times more sensitive than a bloodhound's and can smell a carcass 20km away. Within humans the sense of smell does vary, but I don't know what causes this variation but my guess would be more or fewer receptors.

Nature has had eons to experiment. We physicist just stumbled upon the quantum world a century ago. Of course Nature beat us to it.

I like that this has quantum tunneling involved in not just human, but many animal's ability to smell. It shows that these organisms seem to use the same molecular apparatus to identify the molecules and I just think it's awesome that quantum physics takes place inside my face every time I breathe in. But what's even more awesome is that if this is possible here in this one example, what else could be possible through quantum technology? Other senses? There's always quantum computers, which seem to be getting on nicely. But what I find truly crazy is the potential for organisms on other planets around other stars - and what they might have done differently with such a crazy versatile tool. Then again, we're getting smarter and learning about it so I suppose it's now one of our new tools to explain things and test against - Hooray for progress!

As we are manifestations of the physical world, emerging from its womb in the microscopic realm and crawling up to the macroscopic world, it's unsurprising to me that we are immersed in all of its details, at all scales :) We are cities of cells, who themselves are cities of molecules, cohabitating and exchanging energy. Of course vibe-sensitive life would take advantage of the vibrations of molecules. It's also plausible to imagine this physical structure emerging and fine-tuning, given that life loves to create membranes that fold themselves up and stack themselves close together with small gaps in between (see: mitochondria, chloroplasts, intestines...) What is most interesting to me is that scientists are able to tune into the world, build models, make predictions, and test them with such a fine, intricate level of detail. Truly, huge round of applause for everybody involved in this process of discovery.

Quantum tunneling actually describes how an electron approaches the interface (at some energy) and can appear at both sides simultaneously. That is the "tunneling" effect, kind of like it is depicted in science fiction movies. Whether the particles does bleed into and through another dimension, that is yet to be debated. As of the moment, there has been a lot of computing and modelling work based on classical and quantum equations which guys like Einstein, Bohr, Schrodinger have formulated, but no one really understands this stuff. I have been working in gas sensing technology and interfaces for over a decade (Ph.D. and all) with about 50 publications. There also thermodynamic and magnetic components that we haven't even conceived of, let alone electron spin-up or spin-down. It becomes very very complicated to model, however for simplicity, 'the nose works'. We have yet to really scratch the surface...

So, I have an "out-there" question. Can humans detect smells that arise from basic human emotions, specifically fear and could we measure it. Ex: expose a participant to stimuli that induce a fear response while wearing a simple cotton t-shirt. take another blind subject and expose them to the odour and ask what emotion they think the person wearing the shirt was feeling. I know this sounds crazy but I do have a rationale behind it.

It's nice to think that quantum tunneling is one of the methods our body uses to smell. But we don't know for sure, and I personally think it's probably not correct. There is obviously very convincing evidence that the vibration of bonds play a huge role in the smell of a molecule, but this vibration could be measured in a vast amount of ways, not just by tunneling, which involves electrons crossing a gap, which sounds like something we would build, which involves metal and stuff. I'm just freestyling here but I'm pretty sure receptors could detect such vibration through for example resonance. And even classical physics could predict this. Bond vibration can be approximated by newtonian coulombian equations. Also yeah, it's amazing that our sense of smell is due to quantum mechanics, but really a lot of things are. Our vision relies on the quantization of light match the energy difference between the cis and trans forms of receptor molecules in the eyes. tl;dr "Your nose uses quantum tunnelling to smell!" Eh, probably not, but quantum effects are everywhere.

Just excellent explained ALL your contributions. But concerning smell, is it not possible that f.e. 100 different chemical groups are sensed by different receptors and that a unique combination of these signals can create a mix able to discriminate 10000 types of odeurs?

heres my instantaneous hypothesis of a late night chem student who hasnt even gotten a B.S. I also didn't think for more then a second so it could fall apart easily. perhaps shape dictates a molecule's orientation such that the electron excites a particular chiral constituent. That is to say, some enantiomers smell different because a CH bond is vibrating more freely than a C-halogen bond for example. Jk no idea.

You talk about Raman Spec but you completely forgot to even mention IR spec, that is a legitimate and viable way we can smell, though it leaves a lot to be explained like the carvone example, the + and - forms would have the same spec. anyway, thanks for sharing
