| Biomolecular structures are potential elements of quantum computers. Results of quantum effects simulation in membrane protein rhodopsin are presented. Important role of the retinal environment and retinal-rhodopsin interactions is revealed. The possibility of rhodopsin use in quantum computation is concluded and dynamics of critical processes is discussed. Simulation is performed in quantum mechanical and molecular dynamics approximation by means of VASP package. |
