Updated Simulation for Quantum Bio-Residual Energy Harvesters (QBRH)

Quantum Bio-Residual Energy Harvesters (QBRH) introduce an innovative, low-cost framework for sustainable energy capture by fusing quantum coherence from photosynthetic complexes, upcycled biowaste-derived quantum dots (QDs), and topological insulators like Bi2Se3 for hybrid photovoltaic-thermoelectric conversion. Recent refinements enhance the quantum simulation core using QuTiP, expanding from a simplified trimer to a realistic seven-site Fenna-Matthews-Olson (FMO) model with calibrated Hamiltonian parameters from spectroscopic data. Key advancements include incorporating a sink state for irreversible trapping, environment-assisted quantum transport (EAQT) under 300 K thermal noise, and unit-scaled dynamics yielding up to 94% transfer efficiency in noisy conditions—outperforming classical limits by 2–3x. Grounded in verifiable sources (Adolphs & Renger, 2006; Duan et al., 2022; Li et al., 2023), these updates bolster QBRH's predictive power, bridging quantum biology and nanomaterials for scalable, equitable clean energy solutions under CC-BY 4.0.
