Decoherence in photosynthetic energy transfer : based on a spin bath model
In this thesis we study the coherent energy transfer in photosynthetic systems. This resonant energy transfer has proven to be a coherent transfer in some light harvest complexes. The model which we suggest to describe this mechanism is an exciton hopping on an N-site ring coupled to a spin bath. An...
