31. Note that in a strongly interacting system such as the FMO complex a master equation with local Lindblad terms is not actually the result of an interaction with local baths. In fact, the derivation of master equations in interacting systems is fraught with difficulties. This issue will be discussed elsewhere. A detailed study of this and the impact of cooperative and non-Markovian noise will be presented in a forthcoming publication.
