Research on Entanglement and Coherence in Light Harvesting Complex during Photosynthesis

Abstract:

Photosynthesis is a wonderful phenomenon which is present in green plant. In recent years, it has been discovered that there is entanglement in the biological pigment protein complexes, and that may be the reason of high transport efficiency. And coherence also plays an important role during the process of this efficiency energy transport. However, some scientists consider that it is not at all clear entanglement exists in the FMO complex, or unlike coherence, its role for the transport efficiency seems to be irrelevant. This paper mainly introduces what progress have scientists made during the past few years.
