Efficient and coherent excitation transfer across disordered molecular networks

arXiv:0912.3560 · doi:10.1103/PhysRevE.83.021912

Abstract

We show that finite-size, disordered molecular networks can mediate highly efficient, coherent excitation transfer which is robust against ambient dephasing and associated with strong multi-site entanglement. Such optimal, random molecular conformations may explain efficient energy transfer in the photosynthetic FMO complex.
