We examine, using mixed classical-quantum electron-ion dynamics, electron transfer in a donor-acceptor-like molecular junction system based on polyacetylene. We identify two qualitatively-different transfer regimes: hopping and tunnelling.…

We propose a dynamic mechanism for the reversible regulation of photosynthesis in varying light environments. We employ a three-level quantum model to take into account the correlations between charge donors and charge acceptors immediately…

This thesis looks at the electronic energy transfer in the Fenna-Matthews-Olson complex, in which evidence of long-lived coherence has been observed in 2-dimensional infrared experiments. I use three techniques: the numerically exact…

Quantum state transfer (QST) describes the coherent passage of quantum information from one node in a network to another. Experiments on QST span a diverse set of platforms and currently report transport across up to tens of nodes in times…

A key tenet of the Transactional Interpretation of Quantum Mechanics is the idea that photon absorption localizes the absorbing material system. In doing so, it measures the location of the absorber and hence reduces information entropy,…

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…

We present a theoretical model describing the photo-electrical response of a system composed of quantum dots embedded in a dielectric matrix. The model is based on the non-coherent rate equations and the Transfer Hamiltonian formalism. The…

An electron transport is studied in the system which consists of scanning tunneling microscopy-single molecule magnet-metal. Due to quantum tunneling of magnetization in single-molecule magnet, linear response conductance exhibits stepwise…

The conversion of an absorbed photon from the exciton energy into the reaction centre in the photosynthetic complex has a near unit efficiency. It is becoming clear that any classical model, where the exciton hopping is modeled by a…

Single-electron circuits of the future, consisting of a network of quantum dots, will require a mechanism to transport electrons from one functional part to another. For example, in a quantum computer[1] decoherence and circuit complexity…

We propose a series of dissipation-assisted entanglement generation protocols that can be implemented on a trapped-ion quantum simulator. Our approach builds on the single-site molecular electron transfer (ET) model recently realized in the…

A comprehensive description of molecular electron transfer reactions is essential for our understanding of fundamental phenomena in bio-energetics and molecular electronics. Experimental studies of molecular systems in condensed-phase…

We investigate theoretically the stochastic dynamics of Resonance Electronic Energy Transfer (RET), in a bi-dimensional overexcited ensemble of donor and acceptor molecules. We find that, after initial optical excitation of all the donors,…

The time-dependent transport through single-molecule magnets coupled to magnetic or non-magnetic electrodes is studied in the framework of the generalized master equation method. We investigate the transient regime induced by the periodic…

The population transfer dynamics of model donor-bridge-acceptor systems is studied by comparing a recently developed polaron-transformed quantum master equation (PQME) with the well-known Redfield and Forster theories of quantum transport.…

Electron transfer within and between molecules is crucial in chemistry, biochemistry, and energy science. This study describes a quantum simulation method that explores the influence of light polarization on the electron transfer between…

Many important chemical and biochemical processes in the condensed phase are notoriously difficult to simulate numerically. Often this difficulty arises from the complexity of simulating dynamics resulting from coupling to structured,…

We consider a driven damped anharmonic oscillator which classically leads to a bistable steady state and to hysteresis. The quantum counterpart for this system has an exact analytical solution in the steady state which does not display any…

We consider the role of quantum effects in the transfer of hyrogen-like species in enzyme-catalysed reactions. This study is stimulated by claims that the observed magnitude and temperature dependence of kinetic isotope effects imply that…

The construction of quantum computer simulators requires advanced software which can capture the most significant characteristics of the quantum behavior and quantum states of qubits in such systems. Additionally, one needs to provide valid…
