Generalized resonance energy transfer theory: Applications to vibrational energy flow in optical cavities
Jianshu Cao
A general rate theory for resonance energy transfer is formulated to incorporate any degrees of freedom (e.g., rotation, vibration, exciton, and polariton) as well as coherently-co…
Steady-State Analysis of Light-harvesting Energy Transfer Driven by Incoherent Light: From Dimers to Networks
Pei-Yun Yang, Jianshu Cao
The question of how quantum coherence facilitates energy transfer has been intensively debated in the scientific community. Since natural and artificial light-harvesting units oper…
A Nonequilibrium Variational Polaron Theory to Study Quantum Heat Transport
ChangYu Hsieh, Junjie Liu, Chenru Duan +1
We propose a nonequilibrium variational polaron transformation, based on an ansatz for nonequilibrium steady state (NESS) with an effective temperature, to study quantum heat trans…
Generalized Kasha's Scheme for Classifying Two-Dimensional Excitonic Molecular Aggregates: Temperature Dependent Absorption Peak Frequency Shift
Chern Chuang, Doran I. G. Bennett, Justin R. Caram +3
We propose a generalized theoretical framework for classifying two-dimensional (2D) excitonic molecular aggregates based on an analysis of temperature dependent spectra. In additio…
Light Adaptation in Phycobilisome antennas: Influence on the Rod Length and Structural Arrangement
Aurélia Chenu, Nir Keren, Yossi Paltiel +3
Phycobilisomes, the light-harvesting antennas of cyanobacteria, can adapt to a wide range of environments thanks to a composition and function response to stress conditions. We stu…
A Unified Stochastic Formulation of Dissipative Quantum Dynamics. II. Beyond Linear Response of Spin Baths
Chang-Yu Hsieh, Jianshu Cao
We use the "generalized hierarchical equation of motion" proposed in Paper I to study decoherence in a system coupled to a spin bath. The present methodology allows a systematic in…
