Vibrating ions in a trap model energy transfer, just like in photosynthesis.

A quantum computer made of vibrating ions can now probe the essence of photosynthesis. It simulates what nature does in femtoseconds but scientists couldn't grasp. These calculations could give us solar cells that would make a leaf jealous.

🎯 Excitons in photosynthetic bacteria transfer energy with nearly 100% efficiency — solar cell engineers can only dream of such.
