We investigate the effect of coherence to the excitation transfer efficiency (ETE) in photosynthetic bacteria Chlorobium tepidum. We have modelled the monomer of Fenna‐Matthews‐Olson (FMO) complex as consisting of eight bacteriochlorophyll‐a sites, while explicitly consider reaction center core complex (RCC) as an additional site. With the use of realistic bath spectrum and several dominant vibronic modes in the non‐Markovian master equation, in an effective 9‐site model, we have compared the ETE for an initial pure state and an initial mixed state. We observe that the initial pure state relaxes efficiently to increase the trapping at the RCC. We further illustrate that the coherence play a competitive role to block the back transfer of excitation from RCC pigment to FMO complex and hence to maximize the ETE. The temporal dynamics of excitation transfer efficiency (ETE) from FMO to RCC with the use of initial pure state (created by the interaction of femto‐second laser pulse with isolated FMO complex) has been compared with the initial mixed state (obtained by the in‐vivo incoherent absorption). This comparison shows that initial coherence enhances the ETE. Further, it is also observed that the interference blocks the back transfer of excitation from RCC pigment to FMO complex and hence it further enhances the ETE. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR] |
