[Aspuru-Guzik group list] SEMINAR: Excitonics Seminar, Tues. Nov. 29, 3 pm, 36-428

by Cathy Bourgeois

Please post and forward to your groups Center for Excitonics Seminar Series Tues. November 29, 2011 3:00 PM - 4:00 PM Haus Conference Room - 36-428 "Spectroscopy of complex molecular systems: Physics on an exciton cake-walk" Jasper Knoester, Zernike Institute for Advanced Materials, University of Groningen abstract The concept of excitons, collective excited states, is well-known in solid-state physics. It was first developed by Frenkel in the 1930's to explain the absorption spectrum of perfect molecular crystals, in which case the excitons are simple Bloch waves of excitation. Over the years, it has become apparent that also less regular structures carry delocalized excitations, which are responsible for many of their electromagnetic properties and energy transport characteristics. In this presentation, I will address two classes of such systems. The first class are molecular J-aggregates, large self-assembled structures containing up to 1000's of molecules, which play a role in opto-electronic applications and natural photosynthetic systems. The second class are polypeptides and proteins, in which case collective vibrations are the excitations of interest. The irregular nature of these systems and the occurrence of fluctuations in their host, provide a complex and dynamic landscape in which the excitons are created, evolve, and decay. I will address the basic physics of these systems, some of their intriguing properties, and the theoretical tools used by us to analyse and predict (ultrafast) spectroscopic experiments in the visible and the infrared used to probe these properties. bio Jasper Knoester received his MSc and PhD in Theoretical Physics at the University of Utrecht, The Netherlands, in 1983 and 1987, respectively. Currently, he is the Dean of Faculty of Mathematics and Natural Sciences and Professor of Theoretical Physics at the University of Groningen, The Netherlands. He conducts his research in the Theory of Condensed Matter Group at the Zernike Institute for Advanced Materials in optical and electronic properties of condensed phases, in particular of (bio)molecular aggregates and conjugated polymers; vibrational dynamics and infrared spectroscopy of polypeptides and proteins; low-dimensional systems; spin systems; disorder and localization; QED near dielectric interfaces; light scattering on photonic crystals, plasmonics. Light refreshments will be provided

Hi, There is no topological meeting today, since I haven't gotten anyone to talk. There won't be one next week either since it's Thanksgiving. I can probably find someone the week after Thanksgiving though.

by Jacob Sanders

Dear Excitonics folks, We will be having a joint meeting to talk about *excitons* this *Friday, November 18 *between the groups of Alan Aspuru-Guzik, Seth Lloyd, and Jianshu Cao. The meeting will be held Friday at *10 AM *at *MIT *in the quantum information common room *26-201*. At the meeting, members of each group will give an informal overview of the excitonics research they have been doing, followed by discussion. Hope to see you all there! P.S. I do not have current e-mail addresses for all the members of the Cao group, so if someone from the Cao group can forward this e-mail to the rest of the group, I would be extremely grateful.

Mario ------------------------------------------------------------- David Tannor - Simple Trajectory Method for Non-adiabatic Dynamics The Division Room, 2:30 – 4 p.m. on Tuesday 11/29. A simple trajectory method for treating non-adiabatic dynamics is presented, based on a generalization of Bohmian Mechanics with Complex Action (BOMCA)1,2 to multiple potential energy surfaces. The trajectories evolve on multiple potential surfaces according to Newton’s laws, but with complex position and momentum. Rather than hopping from surface to surface, the trajectories affect their counterparts on the other surfaces(s) via the difference in their complex phase3. The method has the following attractive features: 1) it can be derived in a simple and straightforward way from the time-dependent Schr”odinger equation; 2) it leads to different trajectory dynamics on the different surfaces (non-Ehrenfest dynamics) and hence gives correct dynamics in the asymptotic region of the potential; 3) it allows not only the calculation of asymptotic probabilities, but also the reconstruction of the time-dependent wavepacket, hence decoherence does not have to be introduced in an ad hoc manner. Results are presented for the three benchmark systems introduced by Tully, both in the diabatic and adiabatic representation, showing generally excellent agreement of the method with exact quantum calculations. 1.
