If I try to decode:
During the TCA cycle (energy for mitochondria), mi-infrared photons are released, at 87 THz frequency, derived from the reduction of NAD+.
At this frequency light particles enter in vibration when meeting CH2 (carbon-hydrogen bonds) in membrane lipids. This “coupling” share a 𝐂𝐎𝟐 connection (called polariton). The researchers hypothesize that this arrangement boosts TCA cycle and add a 10% energy gain.
Haidut said:
“Red / infrared light forms a quantum system with the lipids present inside the mitochondria and CO2, which results in boosting ATP synthesis when cells are exposed to red/infrared light and enough CO2 is present. I suspect most of the effect are driven by the lipids composing cardiolipin, and the effect can probably be modulated (up or down) based on the nature of those lipids – i.e. PUFA, MUFA or SFA.”
=> Importance of cardiolipin connected with IR light.
Cardiolipin is a unique phospholipid located exclusively in the inner mitochondrial membrane. It plays a structural role (featuring an inverted-cone curvature), acting as a waveguide (a quantum phenomenon). Naturally, it is important to ensure an intake of MUFAs (e.g., oleic acid) to maintain membrane fluidity, while keeping PUFA levels low.
AI says:
"Enriching mitochondrial membranes with monounsaturated fatty acids stabilizes cardiolipin against free-radical damage. By protecting the physical integrity and curvature of the cristae, these lipids maintain the strict structural conditions that allow polaritons to exist and catalyze ATP production via a quantum effect. Cellular nutrition and quantum physics converge to lock in the energy efficiency of living systems." — (1-2)

Scientists propose a light-matter quantum state inside living cells
https://www.thebrighterside.news/post/scientists-propose-a-light-matter-quantum-state-inside-living-cells/
Excerpt:
• Researchers report an unexplained 71-terahertz vibration in living cells, mouse tissues and isolated mitochondria that disappears when mitochondrial structure is disrupted.
• A theoretical model proposes that the signal could arise from a quantum hybrid state, or polariton, created by coupling infrared light with collective vibrations of lipid molecules inside mitochondrial cristae.
• Weak infrared illumination at 71 and 87 terahertz increased ATP production by about 10% in cultured human cells, but the preprint has not been peer-reviewed and does not directly prove that mitochondria use a functional quantum state.
