Applications of the concepts of quantum information theory are usually related to the powerful and counter-intuitive quantum mechanical effects of superposition, interference and entanglement. I will discuss the role of entanglement in complex systems such as photosynthesis, dissociation of molecules, molecules trapped in optical lattice and the mechanism with which birds determine magnetic north
