Femtosecond nonlinear spectroscopy is the main tool for the time-resolved detection of
photophysical and photochemical processes. Since most systems of chemical interest are …

Quantum biology is an emerging field of research that concerns itself with the experimental
and theoretical exploration of non-trivial quantum phenomena in biological systems. In this …

Natural organisms such as photosynthetic bacteria, algae, and plants employ complex
molecular machinery to convert solar energy into biochemical fuel. An important common …

Coherence refers to correlations in waves. Because matter has a wave-particle nature, it is
unsurprising that coherence has deep connections with the most contemporary issues in …

The dynamical convergence of a system to the thermal distribution, or Gibbs state, is a
standard assumption across all of the physical sciences. The Gibbs state is determined just …

Quantum mechanics provides the most accurate microscopic description of the world around
us, yet the interface between quantum mechanics and biology is only now being explored …

Quantum systems are invariably open, evolving under surrounding influences rather than in
isolation. Standard open quantum system methods eliminate all information on the …

We provide a self-contained review of master equation approaches to modelling phonon
effects in optically driven self-assembled quantum dots. Coupling of the (quasi) two-level …

We explore excitonic energy transfer dynamics in a molecular dimer system coupled to both
structured and unstructured oscillator environments. By extending the reaction coordinate …

Large exciton diffusion lengths generally improve the performance of organic semiconductor
devices, because they enable energy to be transported farther during the exciton lifetime …
