It is shown that a molecule can dissociate by the energy transferred from a remote neighbor. This neighbor can be an excited neutral or ionic atom or molecule. If it is an atom, the transferred energy is, of course, electronic and in the…
Marcus theory famously predicts that electron-transfer rates decrease once the thermodynamic driving force exceeds the reorganization energy. Yet many systems instead exhibit Rehm-Weller kinetics, in which the rate saturates rather than…
Polarization and charge transfer are important effects which are difficult to describe using conventional force fields. Charge equilibration models can include both of these effects in large-scale molecular simulations. However, these…

We present mode-coupling equations for the description of the slow dynamics observed in supercooled molecular liquids close to the glass transition. The mode-coupling theory (MCT) originally formulated to study the slow relaxation in simple…
As an homage to Quantum Energy Teleportation, we generalize the idea to arbitrary physical observables, not limited to energy, and prove a rigorous upper bound on the activated ("teleported") quantity. The essence of this protocol is a…
We study charge transport driven by deformations in molecular rings and chains. Level crossings and the associated Longuet-Higgins phase play a central role in this theory. In molecular rings a vanishing cycle of shears pinching a gap…

The exact universal functional of integer charge leads to an extension to fractional charge asymptotically when it is applied to a system made of asymptotically separated densities. The extended functional is asymptotically local and is…

We examine the impact of the intrinsic molecular reorganization energy on switching in two-state quantum-dot cellular automata (QCA) cells. Switching a bit involves an electron transferring between charge centers within the molecule. This…
A simple algebraic model for charged particle moving in two dimensional space under influence of singular magnetic field is given. The fundamental assumption for the model is that every charged particle coupled to the magnetic field is…
We investigate charge transfer in prototypical molecular donor-acceptor compounds using hybrid density functional theory (DFT) and the GW approximation at the perturbative level (G0W0) and at full self-consistency (sc-GW). For the systems…
We study exciton quantum transfer along a molecular chain whilst accounting for the effects of permanent dipoles that are induced by charge displacements in the molecular orbitals. These effects are typically neglected as they do not arise…

The field of molecular excitons and related supramolecular systems has largely focused on aggregates where nearest-neighbour couplings dominate. We propose that radically different states can be produced by moving beyond that paradigm. In…
