Industrial revolution
Robert E. Lucas, Nobel Prize winner in economics science, "For the first time in
history, the living standards of the masses of ordinary people have begun to
undergo sustained growth ... Nothing remotely like this economic behavior is
mentioned by the classical economists, even as a theoretical possibility.”

Wave-particle duality
Take home messages:
When evolving freely quantum systems exhibit wave character
When measured quantum systems exhibit particle character
Measurements that acquire information, inevitably destroy
coherence and perturb the quantum systems.
66. Long-lasting coherences in FMO
Inter-exciton coherence times > 1.8 ps (77K)
0.6 ps (277K)
Ground-exciton coherence times < 150 fs
How are inter-exciton coherences protected?

Conclusions
Can we improve solar cells
based on this idea ?
More generally: Adding the right kind of noise, to the right kind
of nano-structure can improve its performance.
