Description
One of the big challenges for computationally exploring quantum effects in biological systems is their sheer size. When accurately calculating quantum states, more atoms means more computational effort and this can very quickly get out of hand! In this talk I will discuss some strategies for evaluating the photoexcited states of biological chromophores at very low cost, highlighting the success (or not!) of these approaches, along with some example applications to photosynthetic systems.
