“Quantum mechanics explains efficiency of photosynthesis”
“Energy transfer in light-harvesting macromolecules is assisted by specific vibrational motions of the chromophores,” said Alexandra Olaya-Castro (UCL Physics & Astronomy), supervisor and co-author of the research. “We found that the properties of some of the chromophore vibrations that assist energy transfer during photosynthesis can never be described with classical laws, and moreover, this non-classical behaviour enhances the efficiency of the energy transfer.”
“The negative values in these probability distributions are a manifestation of a truly quantum feature, that is, the coherent exchange of a single quantum of energy,” explained Edward O’Reilly (UCL Physics & Astronomy), first author of the study. “When this happens electronic and vibrational degrees of freedom are jointly and transiently in a superposition of quantum states, a feature that can never be predicted with classical physics.”

“Greetings… We are from the future. Everything is going to be alright. The future is a beautiful place … But you will need some training in order to inhabit it.
In the future – technology evolves faster than any human mind can think. When the singularity occurred. We became like gods – able to create entire worlds in the blink of an eye.
Every thought had drastic immediate impact. All of our dreams became a reality – but so did our nightmares. The future became a battle of ideas. We had to learn to direct our minds – to prevent dark psychological forces – from destroying all of us. Now with every new world we create, we summon the sacred imperative of mind… “Let there be Light.”…[more]
