Coherent and incoherent theories for photosynthetic energy transfer
arXiv:1907.06528 · doi:10.1016/j.scib.2019.12.009
Abstract
There is a remarkable characteristic of photosynthesis in nature, that is, the energy transfer efficiency is close to 100%. Recently, due to the rapid progress made in the experimental techniques, quantum coherent effects have been experimentally demonstrated. Traditionally, the incoherent theories are capable of calculating the energy transfer efficiency, e.g., (generalized) Förster theory and modified Redfield theory. However, in order to describe the quantum coherent effects in photosynthesis, the coherent theories have been developed, such as hierarchical equation of motion, quantum path integral, coherent modified Redfield theory, small-polaron quantum master equation, and general Bloch-Redfield theory in addition to the Redfield theory. Here, we summarize the main points of the above approaches, which might be beneficial to the quantum simulation of quantum dynamics of exciton energy transfer in natural photosynthesis, and shed light on the design of artificial light-harvesting devices.
