Quantum coherence controls the charge separation in a prototypical artificial light harvesting system
Abstract
Ultrafast spectroscopy and quantum-dynamics simulations of an artificial supramolecular light-harvesting system — a supramolecular triad - provide strong evidence that the quantum-correlated wavelike motion of electrons and nuclei on a timescale of few tens of femtoseconds governs the ultrafast electronic charge transfer.
