[Aspuru-Guzik Group List] Group meeting, Thu Nov 02, 3:30 PM, Div Room

Hi all, Mahmoud Mahdian is visiting over the next year from the University of Tabriz. He'll talk tomorrow at group meeting - see below for his title and abstract. All the best, Ian ----------------- Title: Quantum dynamics simulation of Photosynthetic FMO complex Abstract: In this talk, at the first time I will used associated, generalized and exceptional Jacobi polynomials to investigate spectral density of FMO complex. Afterward, we obtain a map that transforms the Hamiltonian of FMO complex as an open quantum system to a one-dimensional chain of oscillatory modes with only nearest neighbor interaction in which the system is coupled only to nearest mode of chain. In the second part of my talk, I will explain a digital approach to quantum dynamics simulation of photosynthetic FMO complex in contact with a Markovian bath, i.e., memoryless, with the nuclear spin-based quantum simulator. We use recoupling and decoupling method on nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) quantum computation and Solovay-Kitaev decomposition strategy for single-qubit channels to achieve an efficient quantum simulation of photosynthesis system.
