DOI: 10.1021/acs.jpclett.3c00670 Systems obeying quantum mechanics are notoriously difficult to visualize, but researchers at the University of Illinois Urbana-Champaign have developed an illustration technique that displays quantum features in an easy-to-read diagram called a coherence map. The researchers used these maps to study the quantum mechanisms that

quantum mechanics,” Makri said. “Just in this study, they gave important insights into the photosynthesis mechanism, one of the great mysteries of biology.”

Makri’s research group reported simulations of the energy transfer mechanism in photosynthesizing bacteria in Science Advances, and the group introduced coherence maps in The Journal of Physical Chemistry B.
