摘要
We discuss the possibly constructive role of disorder for the optimization of exciton transport in the FMO (Fenna-Matthews-Olson) light harvesting complex. Our analysis, which models the FMO as a 3D random graph, demonstrates the existence of a small fraction of optimal, though highly asymmetric, non-periodic conformations, which yield near-to-optimal coherent excitation transport. We argue that, on transient time scales, such quantum interference enhanced transport does always better than stochastic activation.
