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 …

The process of photosynthesis is initiated by the capture of sunlight by a network of light-
absorbing molecules (chromophores), which are also responsible for the subsequent …

An open quantum system refers to a system that is further coupled to a bath system
consisting of surrounding radiation fields, atoms, molecules, or proteins. The bath system is …

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 …

Through the use of the limited materials palette, optimally designed micro-and
nanostructures, and tightly regulated processes, nature demonstrates exquisite control of …

Recent evidence suggests that a variety of organisms may harness some of the unique
features of quantum mechanics to gain a biological advantage. These features go beyond …

Exciton-polaritons are hybrid states formed when molecular excitons are strongly coupled to
photons trapped in an optical cavity. These systems exhibit many interesting, but not fully …

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 past decade has seen rapid advances in our understanding of how coherent and
vibronic phenomena in biological photosynthetic systems aid in the efficient transport of …

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 …
