Simulating ultrafast coherent phenomena in model light-harvesting complexes

Supervisor: Prof. Elisa Molinari

MUSIQ Research

The main goal of the research project is the simulation and microscopic understanding of ultrafast charge separation processes in model light-harvesting systems. The project includes the use of model Hamiltonians, within the framework of open quantum system (master equation) approach, for the simulation of ultrafast multidimensional spectroscopies. In particular, the nonlinear contributions in such spectra will be computed by means of a perturbative approach. The simulation of the system dynamics will be focused on the quantum features, and specifically on the role played by the different kinds of coherences (electronic, vibrational, vibronic, etc.) in the charge separation processes.
