    "abstract": "Do quantum computers already exist in Nature? It is proposed that they do.\nPhotosynthesis is one example in which a \u0027quantum computer\u0027 component may play\na role in the \u0027classical\u0027 world of complex biological systems. A \u0027translation\u0027\nof the standard metabolic description of the \u0027front-end\u0027 light harvesting\ncomplex in photosynthesis into the language of quantum computers is presented.\nBiological systems represent an untapped resource for thinking about the design\nand operation of hybrid quantum-classical computers and expanding our current\nconceptions of what defines a \u0027quantum computer\u0027 in Nature.",
