We discuss three different aspects of the quantum dynamics of bio-molecular systems and more generally complex networks in the presence of strongly coupled environments. Firstly, we make a case for the systematic study of fundamental structural elements underlying the quantum dynamics of these systems, identify such elements and explore the resulting interplay of quantum dynamics and environmental...
This study demonstrates the existence of noise assisted transport in the Fenna-Matthew-Olson (FMO) complex, a light-harvesting complex found in photosynthetic green sulphur bacteria. Result shows how local dephasing enhances the transport process in the FMO complex. In addition, the robustness of the mechanism under local disorder reveals that energy transport in nature is not sensitive to the finer...
Entanglement is akey property of quantum information theory. Here we describe ways to quantify the amount of entanglement. We point out the statistical interpretation of these entanglement measures and some connections between entanglement transformations and thermodynamics. We also describe ways how entanglement can be applied in quantum optical applications such as optical frequency standards.
