Toward RT Quantum Machines

• Implementation of room temperatures quantum devices

• Room temperature simple quantum coherence

• Very hard to achieve but we can use a mix of quantum and classical approach

• Photosynthesis energy conversion efficiency can be very high more than 80% and higher efficacy for energy transfer .

• The plant have an efficient shattering down mechanisms• Room temperature quantum phenomena have been shown

at biological systems, in particular at photosynthesis

• Strong coupling between adjacent Phycocyanin units enables us to treat the whole chain as one coupled system

• The coupling strength is responsible for the exciton de-localization and quantum walk is expected

• In coherent multi-chromophoric system of n chromophores the transition probability is multiplied by n2

• Therefore the transfer rate is increased by factor of n2

• At strong coupled system of n chromophores per unit the de-localization is increased by factor of n

• Therefore, energy transfer distance should be increased by factor of n

• In case of strong coupled system, energy levels will be split according to the perturbation theory

• Therefore, we would expect to see red shift

Summary

• Phycocyanin trimers tend to form nanowires and nano bandles

• Dried samples preserve the luminescent behavior

• Spin-coating over trenches enable patterning• Strong coupling is exhibited due to super-

radiance, super-transfer and red-shift• An easily reversible structural change

underlies the protection mechanism enabling a desert crust cyanobacterium to survive desiccation
