Quantum-enhanced photoprotection in neuroprotein architectures emerges from collective light-matter interactions

Hamza Patwa, Nathan S. Babcock, Philip Kurian

We study here the collective quantum optical effect of superradiance in neuroprotein architectures. This phenomenon arises from the interaction of the electromagnetic field with an…

Ultraviolet superradiance from mega-networks of tryptophan in biological architectures

N. S. Babcock, G. Montes-Cabrera, K. E. Oberhofer +3

Networks of tryptophan -- an aromatic amino acid with strong fluorescent response -- are ubiquitous in biological systems, forming diverse architectures in transmembrane proteins,…

Improved Error-Scaling for Adiabatic Quantum State Transfer

Nathan Wiebe, Nathan S. Babcock

We present a technique that dramatically improves the accuracy of adiabatic state transfer for a broad class of realistic Hamiltonians. For some systems, the total error scaling ca…

Surface residues dynamically organize water bridges to enhance electron transfer between proteins

Aurélien de la Lande, Nathan S. Babcock, Jan Řezáč +2

Cellular energy production depends on electron transfer (ET) between proteins. In this theoretical study, we investigate the impact of structural and conformational variations on t…

Entangling identical bosons in optical tweezers via exchange interaction

Nathan S. Babcock, Rene Stock, Mark G. Raizen +1

We first devise a scheme to perform a universal entangling gate via controlled collisions between pairs of atomic qubits trapped with optical tweezers. Second, we present a modific…

Entanglement of group-II-like atoms with fast measurement for quantum information processing

R. Stock, N. S. Babcock, M. G. Raizen +1

We construct a scheme for the preparation, pairwise entanglement via exchange interaction, manipulation, and measurement of individual group-II-like neutral atoms (Yb, Sr, etc.). G…
