The design of optimal light-harvesting (supra) molecular systems and materials is one of the
most challenging frontiers of science. Theoretical methods and computational models play a …

The influence of exciton–vibrational coupling on the optical and transport properties of
molecular aggregates is an old problem that gained renewed interest in recent years. On the …

In this study, we overview resonance energy transfer between molecules in the presence of
plasmonic structures and derive an explicit Förster-type expression for the rate of plasmon …

We investigated applications of the hierarchical equation of motion (HEOM) method to
perform high order perturbation calculations of reduced quantum dynamics for a harmonic …

Thermal motions in molecular crystals cause substantial fluctuation of the excitonic coupling
between neighboring molecules (dynamic disorder). The effect of such fluctuation on the …

We investigate resonance energy transfer (RET) between a donor–acceptor pair above a
gold surface (including bulk and thin-film systems) and explore the distance/frequency …

How could quantum mechanics possibly be important in biology? We will discuss this
question in the light of recent experiments that suggest that quantum mechanics—or at least …

Stimulated by suggestions of quantum effects in energy transport in photosynthesis, the
fundamental principles responsible for the near-unit efficiency of the conversion of solar to …

We present a non-Markovian quantum jump (NMQJ) approach for simulating coherent
energy transfer dynamics in molecular systems in the presence of laser fields. By combining …

The small polaron quantum master equation (SPQME) proposed by Jang et al [J. Chem.
Phys. 129, 101104 (2008)] is a promising approach to describe coherent excitation energy …
