Photosynthesis is a highly optimized process from which valuable lessons can be learned
about the operating principles in nature. Its primary steps involve energy transport operating …

The process of photosynthesis is initiated by the capture of sunlight by a network of light-
absorbing molecules (chromophores), which are also responsible for the subsequent …

We use the quantum–classical path integral (QCPI) methodology to report numerically exact,
fully quantum mechanical results for the exciton-vibration dynamics in the …

Recent evidence suggests that a variety of organisms may harness some of the unique
features of quantum mechanics to gain a biological advantage. These features go beyond …

During the first steps of photosynthesis, the energy of impinging solar photons is transformed
into electronic excitation energy of the light-harvesting biomolecular complexes. The …

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 …

The design of optimal light-harvesting (supra) molecular systems and materials is one of the
most challenging frontiers of science. Theoretical methods and computational models play a …

The idea that excitonic (electronic) coherences are of fundamental importance to natural
photosynthesis gained popularity when slowly dephasing quantum beats (QBs) were …

Recent observations of oscillatory features in the optical response of photosynthetic
complexes have revealed evidence for surprisingly long-lasting electronic coherences …

Photosynthetic antenna complexes capture and concentrate solar radiation by transferring
the excitation to the reaction center that stores energy from the photon in chemical bonds …
