Understanding the rules of life is one of the most important scientific endeavours and has
revolutionised both biology and biotechnology. Remarkable advances in observation …

Discoveries in quantum materials, which are characterized by the strongly quantum-
mechanical nature of electrons and atoms, have revealed exotic properties that arise from …

Natural organisms such as photosynthetic bacteria, algae, and plants employ complex
molecular machinery to convert solar energy into biochemical fuel. An important common …

The way in which energy is transported through an interacting system governs fundamental
properties in nature such as thermal and electric conductivity or phase changes …

Quantum mechanics provides the most accurate microscopic description of the world around
us, yet the interface between quantum mechanics and biology is only now being explored …

In this review, we present and discussed the main trends in photovoltaics (PV) with
emphasize on the conversion efficiency limits. The theoretical limits of various photovoltaics …

Obtaining the exciton dynamics of large photosynthetic complexes by using mixed quantum
mechanics/molecular mechanics (QM/MM) is computationally demanding. We propose a …

The most recent crystal structure of the Fenna–Matthews–Olson (FMO) protein complex
indicates the presence of an additional eighth chromophore, which has been proposed to …

Ultrafast, multi-dimensional spectroscopic measurements of photosynthetic light-harvesting
complexes have revealed quantum coherences with timescales comparable to those of …

Transport phenomena on a quantum scale appear in a variety of systems, ranging from
photosynthetic complexes to engineered quantum devices. It has been predicted that the …
