Engel Group at UChicago

New paper out from @EngelGroupUC! Here we describe and characterize a new analysis method that isolates energy transfer time constants from 2D spectra. This is done by exploiting symmetries between diagonal and below-diagonal cross peak pathways. pubs.acs.org/doi/10.1021/ac…

Eero Q, a Michigan-based quantum computing company, has decided to move operations to Chicago, establishing Chicago as the nation's quantum hub. "Chicago has, we believe, the best ecosystem in the country for quantum computing talent."– CEO of @QCHardware chicagobusiness.com/commercial-rea…

Happy to announce our new paper from @EngelGroupUC was published in PNAS! "Redox conditions correlated with vibronic coupling modulate quantum beats in photosynthetic pigment-protein complexes" thread! pnas.org/content/118/49…

Congrats to @UChicago & @UofMaryland on their designation as @NSF Quantum Leap Challenge Institutes. This $50 million effort will explore the frontiers of quantum simulation and quantum biology as part of the National Quantum Initiative. Read more here: nsf.gov/news/special_r…

Scientists had suspected bacteria were using #quantum mechanics, but no one could prove it - until now. A pioneering study from the lab of #UChicago Prof. Greg Engel caught them in the act: ms.spr.ly/6010VHqpg

We are proud of our recent work showing that bacteria have evolved to actively exploit quantum couplings for steering photosynthetic energy transfer. link.growkudos.com/1gd7jurjh1c
