Summary:The application of open quantum systems in biological processes such as photosynthetic complexes has recently received renewed attention. In this paper, we introduce a quantum algorithm for simulation of Markovian dynamics of the Fenna-Matthew-Olson (FMO) complex that exists in photosynthesis using a "universal set" of a one-parameter semigroup of generators. We investigate the details of each generator that has been obtained from spectral decomposition of the Gorini-Kossakowski-Sudarshan (GKS) matrix by using linear combination and unitary conjugation. Also, we present a simple quantum circuit for the implementation of these generators.
