Excitation Transport in Molecular Aggregates with Thermal Motion — •Ritesh Pant and Sebastian Wüster — Indian institute of science education and research, Bhopal, India

Molecular aggregates can under certain conditions transport electronic excitation energy over large distances due to the long range dipole-dipole interactions. These interactions are also the characteristics of Rydberg aggregates which have been proved as the quantum simulators for molecular aggregates. An idea that naturally arises in Rydberg aggregates, is adiabatic excitation transport through atomic motion, where slow motion of the atoms combined with excitation transport can result in efficient and guided transport of the excitation from one end of an atomic chain to the other. Based on the analogy between Rydberg and Molecular aggregates, in ref. [1] we explore whether the adiabatic excitation transport can play a functional role in molecular aggregates in the absence of intra-molecular vibrations. But because the transport is partially adiabatic and because it involves transitions between non-eigenstates, it is challenging to estimate the adiabaticity of transport in molecular aggregates. Hence, in ref [2] we established a measure to quantify the adiabatic character of quantum transitions in general. Next, the effect of intramolecular vibrations is included by extending our calculation for excitation transport to an open-quantum- system technique [3].
