We study the generation of electronic ring currents in the presence of nonadiabatic coupling using circularly polarized light. For this, we introduce a solvable model consisting of an electron and a nucleus rotating around a common center and subject to their mutual Coulomb interaction. The simplicity of the model brings to the forefront the non-trivial properties of electronic ring currents in the presence of coupling to the nuclear coordinates and enables the characterization of various limiting situations transparently. Employing this model, we show that vibronic coupling effects play a crucial role even when a single $E$ degenerate eigenstate of the system supports the current. The maximum current of a degenerate eigenstate depends on the strength of the nonadiabatic interactions. In the limit of large nuclear to electronic masses, in which the Born-Oppenheimer approximation becomes exact, constant ring currents and time-averaged oscillatory currents necessarily vanish.

In this work, we study the effects of non-Condon vibronic coupling on the quantum coherence of excitation energy transfer, via the exact dissipaton-equation-of-motion (DEOM) evaluations on excitonic model systems. Field-triggered excitation energy tr
ansfer dynamics and two dimensional coherent spectroscopy are simulated for both Condon and non-Condon vibronic couplings. Our results clearly demonstrate that the non-Condon vibronic coupling intensifies the dynamical electronic-vibrational energy transfer and enhances the total system-and-bath quantum coherence. Moreover, the hybrid bath dynamics for non-Condon effects enriches the theoretical calculation, and further sheds light on the interpretation of the experimental nonlinear spectroscopy.
We introduce a heterodimer model in which multiple mechanisms of vibronic coupling and their impact on energy transfer can be explicitly studied. We consider vibronic coupling that arises through either Franck-Condon activity in which each site in th
e heterodimer has a local electron-phonon coupling and as Herzberg-Teller activity in which the transition dipole moment coupling the sites has an explicit vibrational mode-dependence. We have computed two-dimensional electronic-vibrational (2DEV) spectra for this model while varying the magnitude of these two effects and find that 2DEV spectra contain static and dynamic signatures of both types of vibronic coupling. Franck-Condon activity emerges through a change in the observed excitonic structure while Herzberg-Teller activity is evident in the appearance of significant side-band transitions that mimic the lower-energy excitonic structure. A comparison of quantum beating patterns obtained from analysis of the simulated 2DEV spectra shows that this technique can report on the mechanism of energy transfer, elucidating a means of experimentally determining the role of specific vibronic coupling mechanisms in such processes.
We discuss our recent theoretical work on vibronic coupling mechanisms in a model energy transfer system in the context of previous 2DEV experiments on a natural light-harvesting system, light-harvesting complex II (LHCII), where vibronic signatures
were suggested to be involved in energy transfer. In this comparison, we directly assign the vibronic coupling mechanism in LHCII as arising from Herzberg-Teller activity and show how this coupling modulates the energy transfer dynamics in this photosynthetic system.
We study the effect of quantum vibronic coupling on the electronic properties of carbon allotropes, including molecules and solids, by combining path integral first principles molecular dynamics (FPMD) with a colored noise thermostat. In addition to
avoiding several approximations commonly adopted in calculations of electron-phonon coupling, our approach only adds a moderate computational cost to FPMD simulations and hence it is applicable to large supercells, such as those required to describe amorphous solids. We predict the effect of electron-phonon coupling on the fundamental gap of amorphous carbon, and we show that in diamond the zero-phonon renormalization of the band gap is larger than previously reported.
The primary steps of photosynthesis generate, transport and trap delocalised electronic excitations (excitons) in pigment-protein complexes (PPCs). Generically, PPCs possess highly structured vibrational spectra with a large number of discrete intra-
and quasi-continuous inter-pigment modes while exhibiting electron-vibrational (vibronic) couplings that are comparable to electronic inter-pigment coupling. Consequently, establishing a quantitative connection between spectroscopic data and underlying microscopic models of PPC dynamics remains an outstanding challenge. We address this challenge with two numerically exact simulation methods that support an analytical theory of multimode vibronic effects. Vibronic coupling across the entire vibrational spectrum, including high-frequency modes, needs to be accounted for to ensure quantitatively correct description of optical spectra, where dynamic localization effects modulate the intensity of vibrational sidebands and multimode mixing shifts the absorption peaks. Furthermore, we show that high-frequency modes can support long-lived oscillations in multidimensional nonlinear spectra, which are not obtained in a coarse-grained description of the electron-vibrational coupling.
