“…It has often been argued that living systems are too 'warm and wet' to support quantum effects; however, recent research suggests this is not necessarily always the case. From quantum coherent transport in photosynthesis and magnetoreception in birds to quantum olfaction [2] and single-photon effects in vision [3], the field of quantum biology is leaping into the mainstream. This leads us to inquire, where else might the effects of quantum biology be found?…”

“…From quantum cavities [1][2][3] and superconducting qubits [4][5][6][7][8][9] , through quantum dots [10][11][12][13][14][15], molecular junctions [16][17][18][19][20][21][22][23][24][25][26][27] and cold atoms [28][29][30][31] , to excitons traveling in photosynthetic complexes [32][33][34][35], open quantum systems show dynamics which can be far richer and more surprising than their coherent (environment-free) counterparts.…”

“…The FMO-complex works as a linker complex, funnelling excitons from antenna complexes to reaction centres with a quantum efficiency of close to 100 %. Figuring out the reasons for the highly efficient exciton transport in these structures has been an area of intense research over the last couple of years [143,144].…”
