Single molecule techniques have the potential to reveal information about excitation energy transfer processes in complex multi chromophoric systems.
In this seminar talk I will present the application of low temperature, plasmonic and ultrafast femtosecond pulse shaping single molecule spectroscopy techniques, that are able to advance the understanding of energy transfer processes in photosynthetic pigment protein complexes. The results point towards the importance of quantum biology in photosynthesis.
