The quantum dynamics of transport networks in the presence of noisyenvironments have recently received renewed attention with the discovery oflong-lived coherences in different photosynthetic complexes. This experimentalevidence has raised two fundamental questions: Firstly, what are the mechanismssupporting long-lived coherences and secondly, how can we assess the possiblefunctional role that the interplay of noise and quantum coherence might play inthe seemingly optimal operation of biological systems under natural conditions?Here we review recent results, illuminate them at the hand of two paradigmaticsystems, the Fenna-Matthew-Olson (FMO) complex and the light harvesting complexLHII, and present new progress on both questions. In particular we introducethe concept of the phonon antennae and discuss the possible microscopic originor long-lived electronic coherences.
