The coherent superposition of states, in combination with the quantization of observables,
represents one of the most fundamental features that mark the departure of quantum …

The power of chemistry to prepare new molecules and materials has driven the quest for
new approaches to solve problems having global societal impact, such as in renewable …

Chemical manifestations of strong light–matter coupling have recently been a subject of
intense experimental and theoretical studies. Here we review the present status of this field …

The nature of consciousness, the mechanism by which it occurs in the brain, and its ultimate
place in the universe are unknown. We proposed in the mid 1990's that consciousness …

The exciton, an excited electron–hole pair bound by Coulomb attraction, plays a key role in
photophysics of organic molecules and drives practically important phenomena such as …

Coherence phenomena arise from interference, or the addition, of wave-like amplitudes with
fixed phase differences. Although coherence has been shown to yield transformative ways …

The crucial step in the conversion of solar to chemical energy in photosynthesis takes place
in the reaction centre, where the absorbed excitation energy is converted into a stable …

Photosynthesis is the natural process that converts solar photons into energy-rich products
that are needed to drive the biochemistry of life. Two ultrafast processes form the basis of …

Over the past few decades, coherent broadband spectroscopy has been widely used to
improve our understanding of ultrafast processes (eg, photoinduced electron transfer, proton …

Understanding the rules of life is one of the most important scientific endeavours and has
revolutionised both biology and biotechnology. Remarkable advances in observation …
