A quantum protective mechanism in photosynthesis
Adriana Marais, Ilya Sinayskiy, Francesco Petruccione +1
Since the emergence of oxygenic photosynthesis, living systems have developed protective mechanisms against reactive oxygen species. During charge separation in photosynthetic reac…
Decoherence-assisted transport in quantum networks
A. Marais, I. Sinayskiy, A. Kay +2
It is shown that energy transfer in a homogeneous fully connected quantum network is assisted by a decohering interaction with environmental spins. Analytic expressions for the tra…
Decoherence assisted transport in a dimer system
I. Sinayskiy, A. Marais, F. Petruccione +1
The dynamics of a dimer coupled to two different environments each in a spin star configuration under the influence of decoherence is studied. The exact analytical expression for t…
Security and entanglement in differential-phase-shift quantum key distribution
Adriana Marais, Thomas Konrad, Francesco Petruccione
The differential-phase-shift quantum key distribution protocol is formalised as a prepare-and-measure scheme and translated into an equivalent entanglement-based protocol. A necess…
