It's hard to say whether those kinds of mechanisms could evolve for such a large organism. Photosynthetic molecules with interesting quantum effects developed while piggybacking on early bacterial evolution which was extremely fast because of the abundant radiation and their rapid reproduction. The chemical reactions in space might not be fast enough and may not have enough reaction energy (near absolute zero temperature) to evolve molecules with interesting effects.
