Recent experimental results suggest the existence of quantum coherence and efficient transport in Light Harvesting Systems. Particularly motivated by results on the FMO complex we study exciton transport in random tri-dimensional lattices of seven sites with long range dipolar interactions. We show that some of these networks are consistent with efficient transport.
Moreover, we present evidence that the statistically relevant Hamiltonians associated with the efficient transport are centro-symmetric. We compare our results with numerical tests on realistic Hamiltonians for Light Harvesting systems and present a finite size scaling analysis of the model. Some implications of our results for the comprehension of the role of symmetry in Biology and for Quantum Communications are outlined.
