Venus Dimer Theory Figures (Exact Scripts + Non-interactive Saving)
Authors/Creators
Description
Abrahams, Ian T. "Excitonic Coupling and Photon Antibunching in Venus Yellow Fluorescent Protein Dimers: A Lindblad Master Equation Approach" arXiv:2508.14233 [quant-ph]
This release supersedes v1.2.0-arxiv with a full reorganization of figure scripts, corrected coherence extraction, and standardized constants/units for reproducibility.
Includes:
Figure scripts (restructured & standardized)
Fig. 1: Homodimer in energy basis with both site dephasing and thermal transfer; removed unwanted/incorrect population/coherence dynamics.
Fig. 2: Heterodimer relaxation from a bright–dark mixture; bright/dark now energy-based (no dipole heuristic).
Fig. 3: PyMOL alignment (1MYW vs 1GFL), renamed for clarity.
Fig. 4: Cryogenic coherence (1×2 layout, 250 mK & 400 mK). Uses expect() to correctly compute ρ; plots Im[ρ₊₋] for clear oscillatory decay and half-life; removed unwanted/incorrect population/coherence dynamics.
Save wrappers for batch PNG generation at publication resolution.
Unified constants (ħ, k_B, λ_fast, simulation-unit) and grid definitions across figures.
Cleanup of duplicate functions and comment typos.
Usage: conda env create -f environment.yml conda activate venus-dimer make all
