Production of Entanglement Entropy by Decoherence
M. Merkli, G. P. Berman, R. T. Sayre +2
We examine the dynamics of entanglement entropy of all parts in an open system consisting of a two-level dimer interacting with an environment of oscillators. The dimer-environment…
Dynamics of a Chlorophyll Dimer in Collective and Local Thermal Environments
M. Merkli, G. P. Berman, R. T. Sayre +4
We present a theoretical analysis of exciton transfer and decoherence effects in a photosynthetic dimer interacting with collective (correlated) and local (uncorrelated) protein-so…
A Quantum Biological Switch Based on Superradiance Transitions
D. Ferrari, G. L. Celardo, G. P. Berman +2
A linear chain of connected electron sites with two asymmetric sinks, one attached to each end, is used as a simple model of quantum electron transfer in photosynthetic bio-complex…
Electron Transfer Reactions: Generalized Spin-Boson Approach
Marco Merkli, Gennady Berman, Richard Sayre
We introduce a mathematically rigorous analysis of a generalized spin-boson system for the treatment of a donor-acceptor (reactant-product) quantum system coupled to a thermal quan…
