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 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 …

In our previous work [J. Chem. Theory Comput. 2013, 9, 4959], we introduced the PYXAID
program, developed for the purpose of performing nonadiabatic molecular dynamics …

Chlorosomes are the distinguishing light-harvesting antenna complexes that are found in
green photosynthetic bacteria. They contain bacteriochlorophyll (BChl) c, d, e in natural …

Organic molecules store the energy of absorbed light in the form of charge-neutral molecular
excitations–Frenkel excitons. Usually, in amorphous organic materials, excitons are viewed …

Long-lived coherences of excited states are notable for their positive effect on energy
conversion mechanisms and efficiencies in photosynthetic complexes. Rational engineering …

Recent experiments on light-harvesting complexes at ambient temperatures display
oscillatory signals in two-dimensional spectroscopy. They suggest mechanisms supporting …

Surface hop** studies on supramolecular and nanoscale systems suffer severely from the
trivial crossing problem, arising due to high density of adiabatic potential energy surfaces …

This review serves as an introduction to the variety of light-harvesting (LH) structures present
in phototrophic prokaryotes. It provides an overview of the LH complexes of purple bacteria …

Recent observations of coherence in photosynthetic complexes have led to the question of
whether quantum effects can occur in vivo, not under femtosecond laser pulses but in …
