Investigation of quantum trajectories in photosynthetic light harvesting through a quantum stochastic approach.

ABSTRACT: In natural photosynthesis systems, pigment-protein complexes harvest the photon from sunlight with near-unity quantum efficiency. These complexes show incredible properties that cannot be merely extrapolated from knowledge of their composition. Additionally, the environment perturbing the light-harvesting process significantly affects the mechanism of photosynthesis. This research investigates the photosystem II reaction center (PSII RC) from a new perspective which considers the restricted path of the exciton transfer, in the photosynthesis system, as a quantum trajectory picture with the quantum continuous measurement. In this work, the corridor path of exciton transfer dynamics satisfies the equation of motion, as the spin dynamics, which consists of precession, relaxation, and random f
