Abstract
Biological systems involved in photosynthesis have recently revealed nanoscale properties and robust quantum behavior, exhibiting photon-to-electron conversion efficiency close to one. Today it is believed that this record is offered by the assistance of the interaction with the vibrations of the surrounding protein scaffold. In this contribution, we propose to discuss potential technological alternative for mimicking such a synergistic mechanism, in a biologically-inspired two-branch molecular junction. We demonstrate that time-dependent external excitations may enhance the photocurrent inside the junction.
