Quantum effects are mainly used for the determination of molecular shapes in molecular biology, but quantum information theory may be a more useful tool to understand the physics of life. Organic molecules and quantum circuits/protocols can be considered as hardware and software of living systems that are co-optimized during evolution. We try to model DNA replication in this sense as a multi-body entanglement swapping with a reliable qubit representation of the nucleotides. In our model molecular recognition of a nucleotide triggers an intrabase entanglement corresponding to a superposition state of different tautomer forms. Then, base pairing occurs by swapping intrabase entanglements with interbase entanglements. We examine possible realizations of quantum circuits to be used to obtain intrabase entanglement and swapping protocols to be employed to obtain interbase entanglement. Finally, we discuss possible ways for computational and experimental verification of the model.
