Disentangling Dynamical Quantum Coherences in the Fenna-Matthews-Olson Complex

Hong-Guang Duan, Ajay Jha, Lipeng Chen +6

In the primary step of light-harvesting, the energy of a photon is captured in antenna chlorophyll as an exciton. Its efficient conversion to stored chemical potential occurs in th…

Quieting a noisy antenna reproduces photosynthetic light harvesting spectra

Trevor B. Arp, Jed Kistner-Morris, Vivek Aji +3

Photosynthesis is remarkable, achieving near unity light harvesting quantum efficiency in spite of dynamic light conditions and noisy physiological environment. Under these adverse…

Nature does not rely on long-lived electronic quantum coherence for photosynthetic energy transfer

Hong-Guang Duan, Valentyn I. Prokhorenko, Richard Cogdell +4

During the first steps of photosynthesis, the energy of impinging solar photons is transformed into electronic excitation energy of the light-harvesting biomolecular complexes. The…

Ultrafast Energy Relaxation in Single Light-Harvesting Complexes

Pavel Malý, J. Michael Gruber, Richard J. Cogdell +2

Energy relaxation in light-harvesting complexes has been extensively studied by various ultrafast spectroscopic techniques, the fastest processes being in the sub-100 fs range. At…

Vibronic coupling explains the ultrafast carotenoid-to-bacteriochlorophyll energy transfer in natural and artificial light harvesters

Václav Perlík, Joachim Seibt, Laura J. Cranston +6

The initial energy transfer in photosynthesis occurs between the light-harvesting pigments and on ultrafast timescales. We analyze the carotenoid to bacteriochlorophyll energy tran…
