Coherence quantum beats in two-dimensional electronic spectroscopy.

چکیده
We study the coherence quantum beats in two-dimensional (2D) electronic spectroscopy of a coupled dimer system using a theoretical method based on a time-nonlocal quantum master equation and a recently proposed scheme for the evaluation of the third-order photon echo polarization [Gelin, M. F.; Egorova, D.; Domcek, W. J. Chem. Phys. 2005, 123, 164112]. The simulations show that the amplitude and peak shape beating in the 2D spectra is a result of the interplay between the rephasing and non-rephasing contributions to the 2D signals and can be used to elucidate the coherence dynamics in a multichromophoric system. In addition, the results suggest that the rephasing and non-rephasing 2D spectra contain complementary information, and a study of both of them could provide more dynamical information from 2D electronic spectroscopy.

Elucidation of population and coherence dynamics using cross-peaks in two-dimensional electronic spectroscopy
In this work, we perform a theoretical study on the dynamics and two-dimensional electronic spectroscopy of a model trimer system and compare the results to experimental data on the Fenna–Matthews–Olson protein. We combine a time-nonlocal quantum master equation formalism and the recently developed method for the efficient calculation of third-order photon echo polarization [M.F. Gelin, D. Egor...
متن کاملObservation of Quantum Coherence in Light- Harvesting Complex II by Two-Dimensional Electronic Spectroscopy
Two-dimensional Fourier transform electronic spectroscopy is employed to investigate quantum beating in the major light-harvesting complex II. Long-lived excitonic coherence is observed for the first time in a higher plant system between two different types of chlorophyll molecules.
متن کاملMicroscopic quantum coherence in a photosynthetic-light-harvesting antenna.
We briefly review the coherent quantum beats observed in recent two-dimensional electronic spectroscopy experiments in a photosynthetic-light-harvesting antenna. We emphasize that the decay of the quantum beats in these experiments is limited by ensemble averaging. The in vivo dynamics of energy transport depends upon the local fluctuations of a single photosynthetic complex during the energy t...
متن کاملOn the interpretation of quantum coherent beats observed in two-dimensional electronic spectra of photosynthetic light harvesting complexes.
The observation of long-lived electronic quantum coherence in a photosynthetic light harvesting system [Engel et al. Nature 2007, 446, 782] has led to much effort being devoted to elucidation of the quantum mechanisms of the photosynthetic excitation energy transfer. In this paper we examine the question of whether the decay of the coherent beating signal is due to quantum mechanical decoherenc...
