Limits of quantum speedup in photosynthetic light harvesting (2009, methodology): “[5, 43]) are evident in the power law oscillations, but that transport is still nevertheless sub-diffusive after ∼ 70 fs, for both temperatures.”
Modelling of oscillations in two-dimensional echo-spectra of the Fenna–Matthews–Olson complex (2011, background): “The hierarchical equations of motions (HEOM), first developed by Tanimura and Kubo [19] and subsequently refined in [20–23], show oscillations in the dynamics of the exciton populations that persist even at temperature T = 300 K [24, 25].”
Vibrations, quanta and biology (2013, methodology): “bative treatments in the description of most quantum technologies [87, 154, 163, 168, 178].”
Long-lived quantum coherence in photosynthetic complexes at physiological temperature (2010, background): “As shownby Ishizaki andFleming (13), the arrangement of the chromophores inFMOresults in a downhill, rugged energetic landscape with two distinct routes through which an excitation can travel to reach the lowest energy state.”
Delocalized excitons in natural light-harvesting complexes (2018, background): “HEOM calculations were performed to investigate the population dynamics (Ishizaki and Fleming, 2009a), which served as the first set of key benchmark data in this respect.”
Dynamics of non-Markovian open quantum systems (2015, background): “…in a typical situation, the relaxation time of this environment can be comparable to or even slower than the electronic energy transfer dynamics within the pigment complex, meaning that a Markov approximation is therefore no longer accurate (Chin et al., 2010; Ishizaki and Fleming, 2009b).”
