• Title: Chiral-induced spin selectivity augments quantum coherence in avian compass
• Authors: Yash Tiwari and Vishvendra Singh Poonia
• Abstract summary: We investigate the effect of chiral-induced spin selectivity (CISS) on quantum spin coherence in the radical pair mechanism of avian magnetoreception. We find that both the relative entropy of global coherence and local coherence in the radical pair increases with CISS. We conclude that a high CISS results in a high correlation of global coherence with signaling state yield.

• Abstract: This work investigates the effect of chiral-induced spin selectivity (CISS) on quantum spin coherence in the radical pair mechanism of avian magnetoreception. Additionally, we examine the utilitarian role of coherence for the avian compass by analyzing its correlation with the yield of the signaling state. We find that both the relative entropy of global coherence and local coherence in the radical pair increases with CISS. However, only global coherence exhibit the utilitarian role for the avian compass. We also analyze the interplay of dipolar interaction with the CISS and their effect on the coherence of the radical pair. Further, we analyze the effect of environmental decoherence along with CISS. We conclude that a high CISS results in a high correlation of global coherence with signaling state yield. It confirms that CISS plays an important role both for compass sensitivity and coherence in the avian compass.

Our results put forward photon correlation asymmetry as a promising approach to investigate coherent contributions to excited-stated dynamics in molecular aggregates and other many-site quantum emitters.

  We experimentally investigate individual spin dynamics in a two-dimensional ensemble of electron spins on the surface of a diamond crystal.

• Observations about utilitarian coherence in the avian compass [0.0]
  It is hypothesised that the avian compass relies on spin dynamics in a recombining radical pair. Quantum coherence has been suggested as a resource to this process that nature may utilise to achieve increased compass sensitivity. We investigate realistically large radical pair models with up to 21 nuclear spins, inspired by the putative magnetosensory protein cryptochrome.
