Optimal Conditions for Environment-Assisted Quantum Transport on the Fully Connected Network (2309.00164v1)

Abstract: We present a theoretical analysis of the efficiency and rate of excitation transport on a network described by a complete graph in which every site is connected to every other. The long-time transport properties are analytically calculated for networks of arbitrary size that are symmetric except for the trapping site, start with a range of initial states, and are subject to dephasing and excitation decay. Conditions for which dephasing increases transport are identified, and optimal conditions are found for various physical parameters. The optimal conditions demonstrate robustness and a convergence of timescales previously observed in the context of light-harvesting complexes.
