Testing quantum speedups in exciton transport through a photosynthetic complex using quantum stochastic walks

Photosynthesis is a highly efficient process, nearly 100 percent of the red photons falling on the surface of leaves reach the reaction center and get transformed into energy. Most theoretical studies on photosynthetic complexes focus mainly on the Fenna–Matthews–Olson complex obtained from green-sulfur bacteria. Quantum coherence was speculated to play a significant role in this very efficient transport process. However, recent reports indicate quantum coherence via exciton transport may not be as relevant as coherence originating via vibronic processes to photosynthesis. Regardless of the origin, there has been a debate on whether quantum coherence results in any speedup of the exciton transport process. To address this we model exciton transport in FMO using a quantum stochastic walk (QSW) with only incoherence, pure dephasing and with both dephasing and incoherence. We find that the QSW model with pure dephasing leads to a substantial speedup in exciton transport as compared to a QSW model which includes both dephasing and incoherence and one which includes only incoherence, both of which experience slowdowns.
