“…When investigating the energy transport process of an entire FMO system, it is necessary to consider the energy transport between different molecules, the internal vibration of each molecule, and the interaction between molecules and the surrounding environment. At present, researchers have focused on the coherent superposition of vibronic exciton states inside an individual molecule − and the environment-assisted quantum transport (ENAQT), especially the impact of the noise or decoherence of the environment on the energy transfer efficiency of the FMO complex as a whole, − rather than the internal realistic coherent energy transport pathways in the network of chlorophyll molecules between neighboring or non-neighboring molecules.…”

The coherent energy transport phenomenon inside the light-harvesting antenna like the Fenna−Matthews−Olson (FMO) complex has always been vital and attractive but elusive to investigate directly due to the complex organisms and the ultrafast transport process. Therefore, researchers have focused on the interaction of the FMO complex as a whole with the environment or the theoretical study of its dynamics. Here, we experimentally verify the theoretical system of ultrafast coherent energy transport among seven chlorophyll molecules within FMO with a threedimensional photonic lattice directly written by the femtosecond laser to intuitively uncover the dynamic process between chlorophyll molecules under both neighboring and non-neighboring interactions. The high similarities between the theoretical and experimental results demonstrate the precise positional layout control of the photonic lattices. These achievements will lead to a deep understanding of the mechanism and promising applications in the construction of more efficient integrated optical devices for artificial light energy transport.

“…Closer to the present work, there are works on quantum transport [26,27] and on the quantum simulation of dissipative systems [28]. Particularly on the quantum simulation of photosynthesis, we would like to highlight the papers in [29][30][31], using superconducting qubits and [32] employing a Nuclear Magnetic Resonance (NMR) simulator [33]. e latter is of particular relevance to the work carried out here as it was dedicated to the quantum simulation of the energy transport with environmental actions, where the environment effect is simulated naturally by an appropriate filtering of environmental noise [34], within the NMR system.…”

Photosynthesis is an important and complex physical process in nature, whose comprehensive understanding would have many relevant industrial applications, for instance, in the field of energy production. In this paper, we propose a quantum algorithm for the simulation of the excitonic transport of energy, occurring in the first stage of the process of photosynthesis. The algorithm takes in account the quantum and environmental effects (pure dephasing), influencing the quantum transport. We performed quantum simulations of such phenomena, for a proof of concept scenario, in an actual quantum computer, IBM Q, of 5 qubits. We validate the results with the Haken-Ströbl model and discuss the influence of environmental parameters on the efficiency of the energy transport.

Distribution and Generation of Quantum Coherence for Gaussian States in de Sitter Space

et al. 2021

The distribution and generation of quantum coherence for two‐mode and multi‐mode Gaussian states in de Sitter space are studied. It is found that the quantum coherence is redistributed among the mode in different open charts under the curvature effect of de Sitter space. In particular, the Gaussian coherence for the initially correlated state is found to survive in the limit of infinite curvature, while quantum entanglement vanishes in this limit. Unlike entanglement and steering, the coherence of a massive scalar field is more robust than a massless field under the influence of curvature of de Sitter space. In addition, it is shown that the curvature generates two‐mode Gaussian state and three‐mode Gaussian state quantum coherence among the open charts, even though the observers are localized in causally disconnected regions. It is worth noting that the gravity‐generated three‐mode coherence is extremely sensitive to the curvature effect for the conformal and massless scalar fields, which may be in principle employed to design an effective detector for the space curvature.
