Quantum-Coherent Energy Transfer Conference, April 27-28 2010

Dear colleague,

We are delighted to announce our Royal Society Scientific Discussion meeting titled “Quantum-Coherent Energy Transfer: implications for biology and new energy technologies” to be held on 27-28 April 2011 at The Kavli Royal Society International Centre, Chicheley, UK.

Evidence that photosynthetic systems are capable of supporting quantum-coherent energy transport at high temperatures has generated controversy over the implications of such phenomena for biology and
applications. This meeting will bring together leading scientists from photosynthesis, quantum information, and organic-polymer based research to discuss far-reaching consequences of these quantum effects in the design of novel, robust and efficient energy technologies.

We would greatly appreciate if you could help us to disseminate this announcement.

Best regards,

Alexandra Olaya-Castro (University College London)
