    Is Quantum Behavior Essential to the Evolution of Photosynthesis?

    hmm. i think i came off sounding too confrontational. my apologies. long lived coherence in proteins *at room temperature* is anomalous because nobody had predicted nor observed it before. it could, and i suspect it will, turn out to ubiquitous in photosynthetic pigment protein complexes...

    Is Quantum Behavior Essential to the Evolution of Photosynthesis?

    in fact, this explanation with reference to weak perturbative bath is not true, specially in the case of photosynthetic proteins. according to earlier theoretical predictions coherences between electronic states, even in relatively simple molecules, were expected to decay very rapidly...
