Inhomogeneous dephasing masks coherence lifetimes in ensemble measurements

Journal Article Pelzer, Kenley M. ; Griffin, Graham B. ; Engel, Gregory S. ; ... - Journal of Chemical Physics

An open question at the forefront of modern physical sciences is what role, if any, quantum effects may play in biological sensing and energy transport mechanisms. One area of such research concerns the possibility of coherent energy transport in photosynthetic systems. Spectroscopic evidence of long-lived quantum coherence in photosynthetic light-harvesting pigment protein complexes (PPCs), along with theoretical modeling of PPCs, has indicated that coherent energy transport might boost efficiency of energy transport in photosynthesis. Accurate assessment of coherence lifetimes is crucial for modeling the extent to which quantum effects participate in this energy transfer, because such quantum effects can onlymore »« less

PS2013 Satellite Workshop on Photosynthetic Light-Harvesting Systems

Technical Report Niederman, Robert A. ; Blankenship, Robert E. ; Frank, Harry A.

These funds were used for partial support of the PS2013 Satellite Workshop on Photosynthetic Light-Harvesting Systems, that was held on 8-11 August, 2013, at Washington University, St. Louis, MO. This conference, held in conjunction with the 16th International Congress on Photosynthesis/St. Louis, continued a long tradition of light-harvesting satellite conferences that have been held prior to the previous six international photosynthesis congresses. In this Workshop, the basis was explored for the current interest in replacing fossil fuels with energy sources derived form direct solar radiation, coupled with light-driven electron transport in natural photosynthetic systems and how they offer a valuablemore »« less

Robust light harvesting by a noisy antenna

Journal Article Malý, Pavel ; Gardiner, Alastair T. ; Cogdell, Richard J. ; ... - Physical Chemistry Chemical Physics. PCCP (Print)

Photosynthetic light harvesting can be very efficient in solar energy conversion while taking place in a highly disordered and noisy physiological environment. This efficiency is achieved by the ultrafast speed of the primary photosynthetic processes, which is enabled by a delicate interplay of quantum effects, thermodynamics and environmental noise. The primary processes take place in light-harvesting antennas built from pigments bound to a fluctuating protein scaffold. Here, we employ ultrafast single-molecule spectroscopy to follow fluctuations of the femtosecond energy transfer times in individual LH2 antenna complexes of purple bacteria. By combining single molecule results with ensemble spectroscopy through a unifiedmore »« less

Studying light-harvesting models with superconducting circuits

Journal Article Potočnik, Anton ; Bargerbos, Arno ; Schröder, Florian A. Y. N. ; ... - Nature Communications

The process of photosynthesis, the main source of energy in the living world, converts sunlight into chemical energy. The high efficiency of this process is believed to be enabled by an interplay between the quantum nature of molecular structures in photosynthetic complexes and their interaction with the environment. Investigating these effects in biological samples is challenging due to their complex and disordered structure. Here we experimentally demonstrate a technique for studying photosynthetic models based on superconducting quantum circuits, which complements existing experimental, theoretical, and computational approaches. We demonstrate a high degree of freedom in design and experimental control of ourmore »« less
