Coherence phenomena arise from interference, or the addition, of wave-like amplitudes with
fixed phase differences. Although coherence has been shown to yield transformative ways …

The initial steps of photosynthesis comprise the absorption of sunlight by pigment-protein
antenna complexes followed by rapid and highly efficient funneling of excitation energy to a …

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 …

The primary questions motivating this report are: Are there ways to increase coherence and
delocalization of excitation among many molecules at moderate electronic coupling …

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 …

In recent years, research has emphasized the significant influence of vibronic couplings on
charge separation in donor–acceptor molecules and thin films. Diaminoterephthalates …

How could quantum mechanics possibly be important in biology? We will discuss this
question in the light of recent experiments that suggest that quantum mechanics—or at least …

We review the spin radical pair mechanism which is a promising explanation of avian
navigation. This mechanism is based on the dependence of product yields on (1) the …

We investigate how collective behaviors of vibrations such as cooperativity and interference
can enhance energy transfer in a nontrivial way, focusing on an example of a donor–bridge …

A recently reported synthetic method has been employed to prepare several arrays of free
base and zinc porphyrins. In the arrays, the porphyrins are arranged around a central …
