Oxygenic photosynthesis is indispensable both for the development and maintenance of life
on earth by converting light energy into chemical energy and by producing molecular …

Energy transfer within photosynthetic systems can display quantum effects such as
delocalized excitonic transport. Recently, direct evidence of long-lived coherence has been …

Excitation transfer through interacting systems plays an important role in many areas of
physics, chemistry, and biology. The uncontrollable interaction of the transmission network …

Key processes in photosynthesis are the absorption of solar energy by antenna pigments
and the efficient transfer of excitation energy to photochemical reaction centers, where the …

We provide physically intuitive mechanisms for the effect of noise on excitation energy
transfer (EET) in networks. Using these mechanisms of dephasing-assisted transport (DAT) …

Exciton motion in molecular systems is both an important and an incompletely understood
field of physics and has been undergoing active theoretical and experimental investigation …

The effect of the reorganization of phonons on exciton transfer dynamics is examined.
Starting from a general quantum master equation, we obtain population transfer rates for the …

A theoretical description of femtosecond two-dimensional electronic spectroscopy of
multichromophoric systems is presented. Applying the stationary phase approximation to the …

Interaction between excited and ground states of two molecular chromophores has been the
subject of considerable interest. 1 It is manifested in chemical reactions, 1 in complex …
