Understanding the rules of life is one of the most important scientific endeavours and has
revolutionised both biology and biotechnology. Remarkable advances in observation …

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 …

Natural organisms such as photosynthetic bacteria, algae, and plants employ complex
molecular machinery to convert solar energy into biochemical fuel. An important common …

Vibrational spectroscopy is key in probing the interplay between the structure and dynamics
of aqueous systems. To map different regions of experimental spectra to the microscopic …

In this paper we report the steady-state optical properties of a series of site-directed mutants
in the Fenna-Matthews-Olson (FMO) complex of Chlorobaculum tepidum, a photosynthetic …

We introduce the concept of spatio-temporal steering (STS), which reduces, in special
cases, to Einstein-Podolsky-Rosen steering and the recently-introduced temporal steering …

Stimulated by suggestions of quantum effects in energy transport in photosynthesis, the
fundamental principles responsible for the near-unit efficiency of the conversion of solar to …

We provide a comprehensive study of the energy-transfer phenomenon—populating a given
energy level—in three-and four-level quantum systems coupled to two thermal baths. In …

The act of describing how a physical process changes a system is the basis for
understanding observed phenomena. For quantum-mechanical processes in particular, the …

Pigment-protein complexes (PPCs) play a central role in facilitating excitation energy
transfer (EET) from light-harvesting antenna complexes to reaction centres in photosynthetic …
