Researchers have successfully manipulated such nitrogen — vacancy centers — a step towards using them to perform quantum calculations. (scientificamerican.com)
Now it seems that pigments used in photosynthesis use quantum calculations to harness light (see «Hot green quantum computers revealed»). (newscientist.com)
That is probably the largest set of quantum calculations ever conducted in chemistry, says Aspuru - Guzik. (scientificamerican.com)
