AB  - There is a remarkable characteristic of photosynthesis in nature, that is, the 
      energy transfer efficiency is close to 100%. Recently, due to the rapid progress 
      made in the experimental techniques, quantum coherent effects have been 
      experimentally demonstrated. Traditionally, the incoherent theories are capable 
      of calculating the energy transfer efficiency, e.g., (generalized) Forster theory 
      and modified Redfield theory (MRT). However, in order to describe the quantum 
      coherent effects in photosynthesis, one has to exploit coherent theories, such as 
      hierarchical equation of motion (HEOM), quantum path integral, coherent modified 
      Redfield theory (CMRT), small-polaron quantum master equation, and general 
      Bloch-Redfield theory in addition to the Redfield theory. Here, we summarize the 
      main points of the above approaches, which might be beneficial to the quantum 
      simulation of quantum dynamics of exciton energy transfer (EET) in natural 
      photosynthesis, and shed light on the design of artificial light-harvesting 
      devices.
