  Transport phenomena are ubiquitous throughout the science, engineering and
technology disciplines as it concerns energy, mass, charge and information
exchange between systems. In particular, energy transport in the nanoscale
regime has attracted significant attention within the physical science
community due to its potential to explain complex phenomena like the electronic
energy transfer in molecular crystals or the Fenna-Matthews-Olson / light
harvesting complexes in photosynthetic bacteria with long time coherences.
Energy transport in these systems is highly affected by environmental noise but
surprisingly not always in a detrimental way. It was recently found that
situations exist where noise actually enhances the transport phenomena. Such
noise can take many forms, but can be characterised in three basic behaviours:
quantum, coloured or nonlocal. All have been shown potential to offer an energy
transport enhancement. The focus of this work is on quantum transport caused by
stochastic environment with spatio-temporal correlation. We consider a
multi-site nearest neighbour interaction model with pure dephasing
environmental noise with coloured and nonlocal character and show how an
accelerated rate for the energy transfer results especially under
anti-correlation. Negative spatial correlations provide another control
parameter to help one establish the most efficient transfer of energy and may
provide new insights into the working of exciton transport in photosynthetic
complexes. Further the usage of spatio-temporal correlated noise may be a
beneficial resource for efficient transport in large scale quantum networks.
