@vzn sorry, left for a little while...
I wanted to discuss the applications of photosynthetic energy transfer to quantum computing, because most people say there is no use... what are your thoughts...

A: Quantum simulation of environment-assisted quantum walks in photosynthetic energy transfer

user1271772 One major idea there seems to be that the "environment" (quantum decoherence) assists or optimizes the transport of a signal The idea that photosynthetic systems are doing a Grover search or implementing some quantum algorithm, turned out not to be accepted in the community, and while scie...

@TanMath it seems you already found (key) relevant paper(s) on the subj & we discussed this at length/ depth/ detail earlier. photosynthesis (apparently) holds some future for understanding QM & QC. but its very early stages of research with a lot of uncertainty/ speculation.

Poo. Lost 130 rep from a user being removed. Oh well. Not like I'm short of the stuff.

@vzn true... we discussed this before, but I cannot find it...
I guess the point I am having hard time understand is whether or not the system is truly solving a shortest path problem/optimization problem...
