Abstract

Quantum coherence has been shown to play a crucial role in optimizing energy transfer in photosynthetic systems, especially in the Fenna-Matthews-Olson (FMO) complex, which is responsible for efficiently capturing light energy in photosynthetic bacteria. While quantum coherence is often considered fragile and short-lived in biological systems, recent studies have indicated its potential for sustaining long-lived coherence, facilitating highly efficient energy transfer. This research investigates the implications of long-lived quantum coherence in the FMO complex for energy transfer efficiency, exploring how coherence persistence enhances the system’s performance. The objective of this study is to analyze the effects of long-lived quantum coherence on energy transfer efficiency in the FMO complex under varying environmental conditions, such as temperature and bath coupling. The results demonstrate that long-lived quantum coherence directly correlates with higher energy transfer efficiency, with temperature and environmental factors playing a significant role in maintaining coherence. The study shows that the FMO complex utilizes quantum coherence as an active resource to optimize energy conversion, achieving efficiencies well beyond classical expectations. In conclusion, this research underscores the importance of quantum coherence in biological energy transfer processes and offers insights into bio-inspired quantum systems for efficient energy harvesting.

Abstract

Cultural heritage is a vital aspect of community identity and history, yet many regions face challenges in preserving and promoting their heritage in the face of modern economic pressures. Traditional tourism practices often lead to the commercialization and degradation of cultural sites, while communities struggle to benefit economically from their heritage. Augmented Reality (AR) technology offers a promising solution by providing immersive, interactive experiences that can both preserve and promote cultural heritage while supporting sustainable tourism. This study explores the implementation of an AR-based digital-preneurship start-up model designed to revitalize cultural heritage through tourism while empowering local communities. The research employs a mixed-methods approach, combining quantitative surveys and qualitative interviews with both local stakeholders and tourists. The findings reveal that the AR platform significantly enhanced both tourist engagement and local economic outcomes, increasing community participation in tourism-related activities and boosting income for local businesses. The study concludes that AR-based digital-preneurship offers a scalable, sustainable model for cultural heritage revitalization, providing communities with a new avenue for economic development and cultural preservation. This research contributes to the growing body of knowledge on the intersection of technology, entrepreneurship, and sustainable tourism.
