Ultrafast spectroscopy techniques use sequences of ultrashort light pulses (with femto-to
attosecond durations) to study photoinduced dynamical processes in atoms, molecules …

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 …

We use the quantum–classical path integral (QCPI) methodology to report numerically exact,
fully quantum mechanical results for the exciton-vibration dynamics in the …

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

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 …

Solar fuel production often starts with the energy from light being absorbed by an assembly
of molecules; this electronic excitation is subsequently transferred to a suitable acceptor. For …

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 …

Oxygenic photosynthesis is the principal converter of sunlight into chemical energy on Earth.
Cyanobacteria and plants provide the oxygen, food, fuel, fibers, and platform chemicals for …

Recent observations of oscillatory features in the optical response of photosynthetic
complexes have revealed evidence for surprisingly long-lasting electronic coherences …

Photosynthetic antenna complexes capture and concentrate solar radiation by transferring
the excitation to the reaction center that stores energy from the photon in chemical bonds …
