Abstract: Bacterial light harvesters (LH) are interpreted as Vicsek fractals, based upon their morphology, even though such fractals contain only one, or perhaps two, generations. After using fractal dimensions to describe the geometry, we progress to use connectivity matrices to make an improved description of the light harvesters and make connections with our previous studies. Such inspirations of metamaterial from the biological world are useful for building quantum computers, solar cells, heat radiators, and optical sensors.
