For a long time microscopic physical descriptions of biological processes have been based
on quantum mechanical concepts and tools, and routinely employed by chemical physicists …

We discuss recent research on quantum transport in complex materials, from photosynthetic
light-harvesting complexes to photonic circuits. We identify finite, disordered networks as the …

We show that an array of ultracold Rydberg atoms embedded in a laser driven background
gas can serve as an aggregate for simulating exciton dynamics and energy transport with a …

General open quantum systems display memory features, their master equations are non-
Markovian. We show that the subclass of Gaussian non-Markovian open system dynamics is …

We establish a general mechanism for highly efficient quantum transport through finite,
disordered 3D networks. It relies on the interplay of disorder with centrosymmetry and a …

For more than 50 years we have known that photosynthetic systems harvest solar energy
with almost unit quantum efficiency. However, recent experimental evidence of quantum …

We describe how to engineer wave-function delocalization in disordered systems modeled
by tight-binding Hamiltonians in d> 1 dimensions. We show analytically that a simple …

We study excitation energy transfer in a simple model of a photosynthetic complex. The
model, described by the Lindblad equation, consists of pigments interacting via dipole …

Photosynthetic systems utilize hundreds of chlorophylls to collect sunlight and transport the
energy to the reaction center with remarkably high quantum efficiency, however, the large …

is applied to the biological process of energy transfer from a large peripheral light harvesting
antenna to the reaction center. This process is mediated by the Fenna-Matthews-Olson …
