Photosynthesis is a biological process that involves the highly-efficienttransport of energy captured from the sun to a reaction center, whereconversion into useful biochemical energy takes place. Even though one canalways use a quantum perspective to describe any physical process, sinceeverything follows the laws of Quantum Mechanics, is the use of quantum theoryimperative to explain this high efficiency? Making use of the quantum-classicalcorrespondence of electronic energy transfer recently introduced by Eisfeld andBriggs [Phys. Rev. E 85, 046118 (2012)], we show here that the highly-efficientnoise-assisted energy transport described by Rebentrost et al. [New J. Phys.11, 033003 (2009)], and Plenio and Huelga [New J. Phys. 10, 113019 (2008)], asthe result of the interplay between the quantum coherent evolution of thephotosynthetic system and noise introduced by its surrounding environment, itcan be found as well in purely classical systems. The wider scope ofapplicability of the enhancement of energy transfer assisted by noise mightopen new ways for developing new technologies aimed at enhancing the efficiencyof a myriad of energy transfer systems, from information channels inmicro-electronic circuits to long-distance high-voltage electrical lines.
