The model provides 10:55–11:30 Heinerich Kohler (Madrid, Spain) a first-principles understanding of the most common statistical model used Fidelity in chaotic and random systems in the communications field, namely Rayleigh fading, and shows that the statistical properties are governed by a single quantity related to the loss 11:30–12:00 coffee break or de-phasing parameter of RMT. We also combine the RMT fading 12:00–12:35 Dima Shepelyansky (Toulouse, France) model with our random coupling model (RCM) that takes into account Wigner crystal in snaked nanochannels system-specific features such as direct and short orbits [2–4], to build 12:35–13:10 Bart van Tiggelen (Grenoble, France) a more general fading model that includes Rician fading.

In general, we expect quantum features to fade away on large scales, due to the ever more unavoidable – and detrimental – influence of the envi- ronment which scrambles relative phases and damps quantum amplitudes. Recent experimental evidence suggests, however, that the functional ef- ficiency of large biomolecular units may stem from quantum coherence phenomena, despite strong environment coupling. We explain such ef- ficiency, under the assumption that evolution is able to steer finite size three dimensional systems into molecular conformations with optimal co- herent transport properties. It turns out that such optimal conformations are characterized by specific, optimal entanglement properties between different sites of the molecular complex. 2 PARTICIPANTS AND AUTHORS INVITED TALKS Bart van Tiggelen (invited speaker), p. 12 CNRS/Laboratoire de Physique et Modelisation des Milieux Condeses, Universite Level curvature distribution at the spectral edge Joseph Fourier, Maison des Magisteres, BP 166, F-38042 Grenoble Cedex 9, of random Hermitian matrices France e-mail: [email protected] Yan V.
