论文摘要
光合作用本质上是一个重要而复杂的身体过程,其全面的理解将具有许多相关的工业应用,例如在能源生产领域。在本文中,我们提出了一种量子算法,用于模拟能量的激子运输,该算法发生在光合作用过程的第一阶段。该算法考虑了量子和环境效应(纯dephasing),从而影响了量子运输。我们对这种现象进行了量子模拟,以获取概念验证场景的证明,在实际的量子计算机中,IBM Q,5 Q Q Q Qub。我们使用Haken-Ströbl模型验证结果,并讨论环境参数对能量传输效率的影响。
Photosynthesis is an important and complex physical process in nature, whose comprehensive understanding would have many relevant industrial applications, for instance in the field of energy production. In this paper we propose a quantum algorithm for the simulation of the excitonic transport of energy, occurring in the first stage of the process of photosynthesis. The algorithm takes in account the quantum and environmental effects (pure-dephasing), influencing the quantum transport. We performed quantum simulations of such phenomena, for a proof of concept scenario, in an actual quantum computer the IBM Q, of 5 qubits. We validate the results with the Haken-Ströbl model and discuss the influence of environmental parameters on the efficiency of the energy transport.
