Criteria for quantum coherent transfer of excitons between chromophores in a polar solvent
Joel Gilmore, Ross H. McKenzie
We show that the quantum decoherence of Forster resonant energy transfer between two optically active molecules can be described by a spin-boson model. This allows us to give quant…

Spin-boson models for quantum decoherence of electronic excitations of biomolecules and quantum dots in a solvent
Joel Gilmore, Ross H. McKenzie
We give a theoretical treatment of the interaction of electronic excitations (excitons) in biomolecules and quantum dots with the surrounding polar solvent. Significant quantum dec…
