Abstract

We have achieved first steps toward coherent control of excitonic energy migration in the FMO pigment-protein complex, by combining femtosecond pulse shaping with a feedback loop using an evolutionary algorithm. The experimental conditions achieved, with a rotating sample, a cryostat, and a pulse shaper, are sufficient for closed loop optimizations.
