TL;DR Summary
can we treat the exciton in the FMO complex as a two level system to apply the Lindblad equation?
I want to study the coherence transfer of the excitation in the FMO complex, so I have to solve the Lindblad master equation. Can I treat my system as a two level system?

Can you give a specific reference? It would help to know what source you are working from.
 
in fact, I work with many reference, like Quantum effects in quantum biology
indeed I find some difficulties to apply the Lindblad equation on the FMO complex(it's protein contain 7 Bchls) so I wonder if I can treat each chlorophyll as a two system level ? or there's other way to describe the exciton dynamics in the FMO complex?

Thread 'Quantum behaviour of an electron around a positively charged sphere'

If we release an electron around a positively charged sphere, the initial state of electron is a linear combination of Hydrogen-like states. According to quantum mechanics, evolution of time would not change this initial state because the potential is time independent. However, classically we expect the electron to collide with the sphere. So, it seems that the quantum and classics predict different behaviours!
