Descripción del proyecto Challenging current ThinkingPhonon-Assisted Processes for Energy Transfer and Sensing Mostrar el objetivo del proyecto Ocultar el objetivo del proyecto There is mounting experimental and theoretical evidence that suggests that coherent electronic and vibrational dynamics are essential to understand physiological processes. This project addresses this newly emerging frontier between biology and quantum physics by aiming to determine the role of coherent vibrational dynamics in the efficiency of energy storage in natural and artificial light harvesting systems, as well as in odour recognition. Although these are at first sight two very different biological processes, in both cases their effectiveness is now believed to rely on phonon-assisted mechanisms. In fact, more generally, it is becoming increasingly clear that vibrational dynamics plays a key role in establishing the fundamental connection between structure and function of protein complexes. In this project we not only plan to experimentally demonstrate the crucial role of the phonon-assisted dynamics in facilitating efficient energy transfer in chromophoric complexes and odour recognition, but also to develop a general theoretical framework to describe and understand the role coherent vibrations play in the dynamics of biomolecular systems, as well as to develop methods to identify the presence and properties of such vibrations. Furthermore, we aim at controlling the vibrational dynamics for the development of efficient artificial light harvesting systems. To attain these goals we develop a truly multidisciplinary and original approach. The project will be developed in close collaboration between theorists and experimentalists, and is expected to yield an understanding of photosynthesis and olfaction at the most fundamental level, thus contributing in a unique way to such important challenges as the development of more efficient light harvesting technologies or artificial odour sensors. Furthermore, the understanding and control of environment-assisted coherent dynamics could potentially lead to new forms of robust quantum information processing in the future Ámbito científico natural sciencesphysical sciencesquantum physicsnatural sciencesbiological sciencesbiochemistrybiomoleculesproteinsengineering and technologyelectrical engineering, electronic engineering, information engineeringelectronic engineeringcomputer hardwarequantum computersengineering and technologyelectrical engineering, electronic engineering, information engineeringelectronic engineeringsensorsnatural sciencesbiological sciencesbotany Programa(s) FP7-ICT - Specific Programme "Cooperation": Information and communication technologies Tema(s) ICT-2013.9.1 - Challenging current Thinking Convocatoria de propuestas FP7-ICT-2013-C Consulte otros proyectos de esta convocatoria Régimen de financiación CP - Collaborative project (generic) Coordinador INSTITUTO DE TELECOMUNICACOES Aportación de la UE € 315 200,00 Dirección CAMPUS UNIVERSITARIO DE SANTIAGO UNIVERSIDADE DE AVEIRO 3810 193 Gloria E Vera Cruz Portugal Ver en el mapa Tipo de actividad Research Organisations Contacto administrativo Sara Correia (Mrs.) Enlaces Contactar con la organización Opens in new window Sitio web Opens in new window Coste total Sin datos Participantes (7) Ordenar alfabéticamente Ordenar por aportación de la UE Ampliar todo Contraer todo UNIVERSITAET ULM Alemania Aportación de la UE € 244 920,00 Dirección HELMHOLTZSTRASSE 16 89081 Ulm Ver en el mapa Región Baden-Württemberg Tübingen Ulm, Stadtkreis Tipo de actividad Higher or Secondary Education Establishments Contacto administrativo Michaela Schuhmacher (Mrs.) Enlaces Contactar con la organización Opens in new window Sitio web Opens in new window Coste total Sin datos CENTRE NATIONAL DE LA RECHERCHE SCIENTIFIQUE CNRS Francia Aportación de la UE € 254 270,00 Dirección RUE MICHEL ANGE 3 75794 Paris Ver en el mapa Región Ile-de-France Ile-de-France Paris Tipo de actividad Research Organisations Contacto administrativo Bastien PINCANON (Mr.) Enlaces Contactar con la organización Opens in new window Sitio web Opens in new window Coste total Sin datos EREVNITIKO KENTRO VIOIATRIKON EPISTIMON ALEXANDROS FLEMINGK Grecia Aportación de la UE € 192 600,00 Dirección FLEMING STREET 34 16672 Vari-Athens Ver en el mapa Región Αττική Aττική Ανατολική Αττική Tipo de actividad Research Organisations Contacto administrativo Efthimios Skoulakis (Dr.) Enlaces Contactar con la organización Opens in new window Sitio web Opens in new window Coste total Sin datos UNIVERSITA DEGLI STUDI DI PADOVA Italia Aportación de la UE € 258 120,00 Dirección VIA 8 FEBBRAIO 2 35122 Padova Ver en el mapa Región Nord-Est Veneto Padova Tipo de actividad Higher or Secondary Education Establishments Contacto administrativo Elisabetta Collini (Dr.) Enlaces Contactar con la organización Opens in new window Sitio web Opens in new window Coste total Sin datos STICHTING VU Países Bajos Aportación de la UE € 306 000,00 Dirección DE BOELELAAN 1105 1081 HV Amsterdam Ver en el mapa Región West-Nederland Noord-Holland Groot-Amsterdam Tipo de actividad Higher or Secondary Education Establishments Contacto administrativo Yvonne Kops (Dr.) Enlaces Contactar con la organización Opens in new window Sitio web Opens in new window Coste total Sin datos UNIVERSITY COLLEGE LONDON Aportación de la UE € 263 314,00 Dirección GOWER STREET WC1E 6BT LONDON Ver en el mapa Tipo de actividad Higher or Secondary Education Establishments Contacto administrativo Machell Giles (Mr.) Enlaces Contactar con la organización Opens in new window Sitio web Opens in new window Coste total Sin datos UNIVERSITE D'ORLEANS Francia Aportación de la UE € 0,00 Dirección CHATEAU DE LA SOURCE 45067 Orleans Cedex 2 Ver en el mapa Región Centre — Val de Loire Centre — Val de Loire Loiret Tipo de actividad Higher or Secondary Education Establishments Contacto administrativo Sylvie Legroux (Mrs.) Enlaces Contactar con la organización Opens in new window Sitio web Opens in new window Coste total Sin datos
