Strong molecule-light interaction enables the control of molecular structures and dynamical processes. A model with strong laser drive is proposed to greatly enhance intermolecular distance resonant energy transfer, where molecules are strongly driven by an optical cavity. The optimal Rabi frequency quantum yield transfer observed, resulting from trade off between dipole-dipole molecule-cavity ...

A wellknown approach to describe the dynamics of an open quantum system is compute master equation evolving reduced density matrix system. This plays important role in describing excitation transfer through photosynthetic light harvesting complexes (LHCs). The hierarchical equations motion (HEOM) was adapted by Ishizaki and Fleming [J. Chem. Phys.130, 234111 (2009)] simulate biological regime. ...

In this thesis, the performance criteria for the objective comparison of different classes of single-degree-of-freedom oscillators under stochastic excitation are developed. For each family of oscillators, these objective criteria take into account the maximum possible energy harvested for a given response level, which is a quantity that is directly connected to the size of the harvesting confi...
