• Abstract: Recent evidence suggests that the multi charge-separation pathways can contribute to the photosynthetic performance. In this work, the influence of coupled-dipoles on the photosynthetic performance was investigated in a two-charge separation pathways quantum heat engine (QHE) model. And the population dynamics of the two coupled sites, j-V characteristics and power involving this photosynthetic QHE model were evaluated for the photosynthetic performance. The results illustrate that the photosynthetic performance can be greatly enhanced but quantum interference was deactivated by the coupled-dipoles between the two-charge separation pathways. However, the photosynthetic performance can also be promoted by the deactivated quantum interference owing to the coupled-dipoles. It is a novel role of the coupled-dipoles in the energy transport process of biological photosynthetic and some artificial strategies may be motivated by this photosynthetic QHE model in the future.

  We propose a dynamic mechanism for the reversible regulation of photosynthesis in varying light environments. We employ a three-level quantum model to take into account the correlations between charge donors and charge acceptors immediately before photoexcitation. We show that under continuous illumination, the transfer efficiency of a single charge is inversely proportional to the intensity of light, which can be suppressed so severely that it becomes a limiting factor on linear electron transport.

• Hot-Band Absorption Can Mimic Entangled Two-Photon Absorption [52.77024349608834]
  We investigated the fluorescence signals from Rhodamine 6G and LDS798 excited with a CW laser or an entangled photon pair source at 1060 nm. We observed a signal that originates from hot-band absorption (HBA), which is one-photon absorption from thermally-populated vibrational levels of the ground electronic state. For the typical conditions under which E2PEF measurements are performed, contributions from the HBA process could lead to a several orders-of-magnitude overestimate of the quantum advantage for excitation efficiency.

  We investigate the effect of macroscopic quantum behavior of a system of two pigments on the transport phenomena in this system model. Our results demonstrate that the quantum efficiency is robust with respect to the macroscopicity parameter h solely. The ratio of macroscopicity over the pigment-pigment interaction energy can be considered as a parameter that may control the energy transfer efficiency at a given time.
