Driven spin dynamics enhances cryptochrome magnetoreception: Towards live quantum sensing
Luke D. Smith, Farhan T. Chowdhury, Iona Peasgood +2
The mechanism underlying magnetoreception has long eluded explanation. A popular hypothesis attributes this sense to the quantum coherent spin dynamics of spin-selective recombinat…
Observations about utilitarian coherence in the avian compass
Luke D. Smith, Jean Deviers, Daniel R. Kattnig
It is hypothesised that the avian compass relies on spin dynamics in a recombining radical pair. Quantum coherence has been suggested as a resource to this process that nature may…
Quantum dissipative systems beyond the standard harmonic model: features of linear absorption and dynamics
Luke D. Smith, Arend G. Dijkstra
Current simulations of ultraviolet-visible absorption lineshapes, and dynamics of condensed phase systems, largely adopt a harmonic description to model vibrations. Often, this inv…
Subtleties of witnessing quantum coherence in non-isolated systems
George C. Knee, Max Marcus, Luke D. Smith +1
Identifying non-classicality unambiguously and inexpensively is a long-standing open challenge in physics. The No-Signalling-In-Time protocol was developed as an experimental test…
Structure-Dynamics Relation in Physically-Plausible Multi-Chromophore Systems
George C. Knee, Patrick Rowe, Luke D. Smith +2
We study a large number of physically-plausible arrangements of chromophores, generated via a computational method involving stochastic real-space transformations of a naturally oc…
