Abstract
A new tractable linear electronic transition dipole moment time correlation function (ETDMTCF) that accurately accounts for electronic dephasing, asymmetry, and width of 1-phonon profile, which the zero-phonon line (ZPL) contributes to it, in Rhodopseudomonas viridis bacterial reaction center is derived. This time correlation function proves to be superior to other frequency-domain expressions in case of strong electron-phonon coupling (which is often the case in bacterial RCs and pigment-protein complexes), many vibrational modes involved, and high temperature, whereby more vibronic and electronic (sequence) transitions would arise. The Fourier transform of this ETDMTCF leads to asymmetric multiphonon profiles composed of Lorentzian distribution and Gaussian distribution on the high- and low-energy sides, respectively, whereby the overtone widths fold themselves with that of the one-phonon profile. This ETDMTCF also features expedient computation in large systems using asymmetric phonon profiles to account correctly for dephasing and pigment-protein interaction (electron-phonon coupling). The derived ETDMTCF allows computing all nonlinear optical signals in both time and frequency domains, through the nonlinear dipole moment time correlation functions (as guided by nonlinear optical response theory) in line with the eight Liouville space pathways. The linear transition dipole moment time correlation function is of a central value as the nonlinear transition dipole moment time correlation function is expressed in terms of the linear transition dipole moment time correlation function, derived herein. One of the great advantages of presenting this ETDMTCF is its applicability to nonlinear transition dipole moment time correlation functions in line with the eight Liouville space pathways needed in computing nonlinear signals. As such, there is more to the utility and applicability of the presented ETDMTCF besides computational expediency and efficiency. Results show good agreement with the reported literature. The intimate connection between a one-phonon profile and the corresponding bath spectral density in photosynthetic complexes is discussed.

Abstract
In this mini review, we focus on recent advances in the atomistic modeling of biological light-harvesting (LH) complexes. Because of their size and sophisticated electronic structures, multiscale methods are required to investigate the dynamical and spectroscopic properties of such complexes. The excitation energies, in this context also known as site energies, excitonic couplings, and spectral densities are key quantities which usually need to be extracted to be able to determine the exciton dynamics and spectroscopic properties. The recently developed multiscale approach based on the numerically efficient density functional tight-binding framework followed by excited state calculations has been shown to be superior to the scheme based on pure classical molecular dynamics simulations. The enhanced approach, which improves the description of the internal vibrational dynamics of the pigment molecules, yields spectral densities in good agreement with the experimental counterparts for various bacterial and plant LH systems. Here, we provide a brief overview of those results and described the theoretical foundation of the multiscale protocol.

Abstract
We computed the optical properties of a large set of molecular crystals (∼2200 structures) composed of molecules whose lowest excited states are strongly coupled and generate wide excitonic bands. Such bands are classified in terms of their dimensionality (1-, 2-, and 3-dimensional), the position of the optically allowed state in relation with the excitonic density of states, and the presence of Davydov splitting. The survey confirms that one-dimensional aggregates are rare in molecular crystals highlighting the need to go beyond the simple low-dimensional models. Furthermore, this large set of data is used to search for technologically interesting and less common properties. For instance, we considered the largest excitonic bandwidth that is achievable within known molecular crystals and identified materials with strong super-radiant states. Finally, we explored the possibility that strong excitonic coupling can be used to generate emissive states in the near-infrared region in materials formed by molecules with bright visible absorption and we could identify the maximum allowable red shift in this material class. These insights with the associated searchable database provide practical guidelines for designing materials with interesting optical properties.

Abstract
The quantum interference in singlet fission (SF) among the multiple pathways from singlet excited states to correlated triplet pair states is comprehensively investigated. The analytical analysis reveals that this interference is strongly affected by the exciton-exciton coupling and is closely related to the property of J- and H-type of aggregates. Different from the interference in the spectra of aggregates, which depends only on the sign of exciton-exciton coupling, the interference in SF is additionally related to the signs of couplings between singlet excited states and triplet pair states. The interference dynamics is further demonstrated numerically by a time-dependent wavepacket diffusion method with electron-phonon interactions incorporated. Finally, we take a pentacene dimer as a concrete example to show how to adjust the constructive and destructive interferences in SF dynamics in terms of J-/H-aggregate behaviors. The results presented here may provide guiding principles for designing efficient SF materials through directly tuning quantum interference via morphology engineering.

Abstract
The process of photosynthesis is initiated by the capture of sunlight by a network of light-absorbing molecules (chromophores), which are also responsible for the subsequent funneling of the excitation energy to the reaction centers. Through evolution, genetic drift, and speciation, photosynthetic organisms have discovered many solutions for light harvesting. In this review, we describe the underlying photophysical principles by which this energy is absorbed, as well as the mechanisms of electronic excitation energy transfer (EET). First, optical properties of the individual pigment chromophores present in light-harvesting antenna complexes are introduced, and then we examine the collective behavior of pigment-pigment and pigment-protein interactions. The description of energy transfer, in particular multichromophoric antenna structures, is shown to vary depending on the spatial and energetic landscape, which dictates the relative coupling strength between constituent pigment molecules. In the latter half of the article, we focus on the light-harvesting complexes of purple bacteria as a model to illustrate the present understanding of the synergetic effects leading to EET optimization of light-harvesting antenna systems while exploring the structure and function of the integral chromophores. We end this review with a brief overview of the energy-transfer dynamics and pathways in the light-harvesting antennas of various photosynthetic organisms.

Abstract
Conjugated polymers in the solid state usually exhibit low fluorescence quantum yields, which limit their applications in many areas such as light-emitting diodes. Despite considerable research efforts, the underlying mechanism still remains controversial and elusive. Here, the nature and properties of excited states in the archetypal polythiophene are investigated via aggregates suspended in solvents with different dielectric constants (ɛ). In relatively polar solvents (ɛ>∼ 3), the aggregates exhibit a low fluorescence quantum yield (QY) of 2–5%, similar to bulk films, however, in relatively nonpolar solvents (ɛ<∼ 3) they demonstrate much higher fluorescence QY up to 20–30%. A series of mixed quantum-classical atomistic simulations illustrate that dielectric induced stabilization of nonradiative charge-transfer (CT) type states can lead to similar drastic reduction in fluorescence QY as seen experimentally. Fluorescence lifetime measurement reveals that the CT-type states exist as a competitive channel of the formation of emissive exciton-type states. Conjugated polymers in thin films exhibit low fluorescence quantum yields, but the mechanism is still unclear. Here, Hu et al. show the trade-off between charge transfer and emissive exciton states, whilst the former can be suppressed via dielectric-induced stabilization for large fluorescence quantum yields.

Abstract
We propose a new approach for calculating the change of the absorption spectrum of a molecule when moved from the gas phase to a crystalline morphology. The so-called gas-to-crystal shift Δ[Formula: see text] m is mainly caused by dispersion effects and depends sensitively on the molecule's specific position in the nanoscopic setting. Using an extended dipole approximation, we are able to divide Δ[Formula: see text] m = -QWm in two factors, where Q depends only on the molecular species and accounts for all nonresonant electronic transitions contributing to the dispersion while Wm is a geometry factor expressing the site dependence of the shift in a given molecular structure. The ability of our approach to predict absorption spectra is demonstrated using the example of polycrystalline films of 3,4,9,10-perylenetetracarboxylic diimide (PTCDI).
