The Engel Group strives to exploit femtosecond dynamics to control excited state reactivity by combining spectroscopy, theory, synthesis, and biophysics.
New paper out from @EngelGroupUC!
Here we describe and characterize a new analysis method that isolates energy transfer time constants from 2D spectra. This is done by exploiting symmetries between diagonal and below-diagonal cross peak pathways.

Congrats to @UChicago & @UofMaryland on their designation as @NSF Quantum Leap Challenge Institutes. This $50 million effort will explore the frontiers of quantum simulation and quantum biology as part of the National Quantum Initiative. Read more here: https://t.co/NVQ6X1JhUG
Scientists had suspected bacteria were using #quantum mechanics, but no one could prove it - until now.
A pioneering study from the lab of #UChicago Prof. Greg Engel caught them in the act: https://t.co/Xksy1zt078
We are proud of our recent work showing that bacteria have evolved to actively exploit quantum couplings for steering photosynthetic energy transfer.
