EU-funded scientists studied a class of quantum systems that display memory features. The results apply to a wide range of ultrafast physical processes like light harvesting in photosynthesis
Ultrafast physical processes captured the attention of the scientists working on the EU-funded project MICRONM (Microscopic derivation of non Markovian dynamics) because they arise in condensed matter physics, biophysics and even chemistry. From a theoretical point of view, all these processes are described by systems interacting with the surrounding environment.
