The coherent superposition of states, in combination with the quantization of observables,
represents one of the most fundamental features that mark the departure of quantum …

Quantum biology is an emerging field of research that concerns itself with the experimental
and theoretical exploration of non-trivial quantum phenomena in biological systems. In this …

Quantum control is concerned with active manipulation of physical and chemical processes
on the atomic and molecular scale. This work presents a perspective of progress in the field …

The dynamical convergence of a system to the thermal distribution, or Gibbs state, is a
standard assumption across all of the physical sciences. The Gibbs state is determined just …

Photosynthesis begins with light harvesting, where specialized pigment–protein complexes
transform sunlight into electronic excitations delivered to reaction centres to initiate charge …

Quantum mechanics provides the most accurate microscopic description of the world around
us, yet the interface between quantum mechanics and biology is only now being explored …

We define a quantitative measure of coherent delocalization; similarly to the concept of
entanglement measures, we require that a measure of coherent delocalization may never …

Advancing the debate on quantum effects in light-initiated reactions in biology requires clear
identification of non-classical features that these processes can exhibit and utilize. Here we …

Recent two-dimensional (2D) electronic spectroscopic experiments revealed that electronic
energy transfer in photosynthetic light harvesting involves long-lived quantum coherence …

Electronic excitation energy transfer is ubiquitous in a variety of multichromophoric systems
and has been a subject of numerous investigations in the last century. Recently …
