Application of quantum relaxation theory to molecular system

Operation co-funded by EU cohesion policy (European Social Fund (ESF)) under the programme EU Structural Funds Investments - LT - ERDF/ESF/CF/YEI (2014LT16MAOP001), managing authority: Finansų ministerija. The source names no beneficiary for this operation. Location: Vilnius County (NUTS LT011); Lithuania. Budget: total eligible expenditure EUR 1,877.93; EU co-financing EUR 1,877.93 (co-financing rate 100%), as stated by the source. Runs 2018-07-02 to 2018-08-31. Source: Kohesio, EU cohesion policy projects managed by national and regional authorities (not CORDIS); selected because its title uses a quantum word. Summary from Kohesio (English machine translation by the source): The development of a student’s competences by involving him in the activities of the scientific thematic group providing parallel computer computational experience is the main goal of this project, after which the student will be able to solve the challenges of mathematical modelling of complex systems of multiple degrees of freedom. In the project, the student will have access to the functional characteristics of molecular aggregates, master the methods of parallel calculations using supercomputers and will be able to use the theoretical knowledge accumulated in the lectures in practice. The project will model the relaxation phenomena of optically activated electronic quantum states due to interaction with the thermal environment. A realistic FMO molecular aggregate is taken as a model system. This assembly is found in photosynthetic bacteria in nature and is intended to transmit excitation energy from a certain light-collecting antenna and the centre of electron transport. Energy transfer simulation in the FMO complex is a great student task that will allow the student to enter the “Quantum Biology” science. The project sets out a single task: simulate energy transfer in the FMO molecule assembly according to Redfield relaxation theory using supercomputer resources. To address this challenge, one activity is formulated: create software for a supercomputer based on the QCFP software package, which uses parallel calculations capabilities for modelling. The main result that will be derived from this activity is a developed QCFP computer package tailored to the capabilities of supercomputers.
