Modified-scaled hierarchical equation of motion approach for the study of quantum coherence in photosynthetic complexes
TL;DR: Shi et al. as mentioned in this paper presented a detailed theoretical study of the transfer of electronic excitation energy through the FMO pigment-protein complex, using the new developed modified scaled hierarchical approach.

Gryffin: An algorithm for Bayesian optimization of categorical variables informed by expert knowledge
TL;DR: Gryffin this article augments Bayesian optimization based on kernel density estimation with smooth approximations to categorical distributions, which can significantly accelerate the search for promising molecules and materials.

Non-Markovian Quantum Jumps in Excitonic Energy Transfer
TL;DR: It is shown that strong exciton-phonon coupling to low frequency modes can considerably modify transport properties, which can be seen as an extension of recent environment-assisted quantum transport concepts to the non-Markovian regime.
Suppression of quantum oscillations and the dependence on site energies in electronic excitation transfer in the Fenna-Matthews-Olson trimer
TL;DR: In this article, the energy transfer in the photosynthetic complex of the Green Sulfur Bacteria known as the FMO complex was studied theoretically taking all three subunits (monomers) of FMO trimer and the recently found eighth bacteriochlorophyll (BChl) molecule into account.

Variational Quantum Factoring
TL;DR: In this article, a variational quantum factoring (VQF) algorithm is proposed to map the factoring problem to the ground state of an Ising Hamiltonian, which is well beyond the capabilities of today's noisy intermediate-scale quantum devices.
