"Revolutionizing Photosynthesis: Quantum Physics Visualization Technique Unveiled"

Originally Published 2 years ago — by SciTechDaily

Scientists have developed a new visualization technique called coherence maps to understand the quantum mechanics underlying photosynthesis. The technique portrays a system's quantum behavior and enabled the team to study the molecular structure responsible for harvesting sunlight and the transfer of this energy to the site of a chemical reaction. Coherence maps not only clearly displayed how energy was transferred to the reaction site, but they gave a clear quantum explanation for the transfer.

"Revolutionary Quantum Visualization Unlocks Secrets of Photosynthesis"

Originally Published 2 years ago — by Phys.org

Researchers at the University of Illinois Urbana-Champaign have developed a coherence map, an easy-to-read diagram that displays quantum features, to study the quantum mechanisms that underlay photosynthesis. The researchers applied coherence maps to analyze earlier computer simulations of photosynthesizing bacteria in a new way. The maps not only clearly displayed how energy was transferred to the reaction site, but they gave a clear quantum explanation for the transfer. The researchers believe coherence maps will be an invaluable tool to theoretical analyses based on quantum mechanics.
