Quantum coherence has been observed in the major light-harvesting complex of photosystem II (LHCII) from green plants. By controlling the laser pulse polarization in two-dimensional electronic spectroscopy, signals from quantum coherence have been separated from other molecular processes, offering insight into the role of quantum coherence in photosynthetic light-harvesting.
