Photosynthesis is a highly optimized process from which valuable lessons can be learned
about the operating principles in nature. Its primary steps involve energy transport operating …

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 spin degree of freedom is an important and intrinsic parameter in boosting carrier
dynamics and surface reaction kinetics of photocatalysis. Here we show that chiral structure …

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 …

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 …

Singlet fission is the spin-allowed conversion of a spin-singlet exciton into a pair of spin-
triplet excitons residing on neighbouring molecules. To rationalize this phenomenon, a …

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 …

The idea that excitonic (electronic) coherences are of fundamental importance to natural
photosynthesis gained popularity when slowly dephasing quantum beats (QBs) were …

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 …

The delocalized, anticorrelated component of pigment vibrations can drive nonadiabatic
electronic energy transfer in photosynthetic light-harvesting antennas. In femtosecond …
