Understanding the dynamics of photophysical processes in Ln complexes remains challenging due to the intricate nature involving the metallic center, where sensitization (antenna effect) plays a pivotal role. Current studies have often overlooked the vibronic coupling within the antenna effect, leading to incomplete insights into excited-state dynamics. To address these shortcomings, we introduce a novel theoretical and computational approach that leverages the impact of the vibrational modes of the S and T states in this effect through the correlation function formalism, offering a comprehensive view of intersystem crossing (ISC).

Nonadiabatic quantum-classical mapping approaches have significantly gained in popularity over the past several decades because they have acceptable accuracy while remaining numerically tractable even for large system sizes. In the recent few years, several novel mapping approaches have been developed that display higher accuracy than the traditional Ehrenfest method, linearized semiclassical initial value representation (LSC-IVR), and Poisson bracket mapping equation (PBME) approaches. While various benchmarks have already demonstrated the advantages and limitations of those methods, unified theoretical justifications of their short-time accuracy are still demanded.

Harmonic and subharmonic RF injection locking is demonstrated in a terahertz (THz) quantum-cascade vertical-external-cavity surface-emitting laser (QC-VECSEL). By tuning the RF injection frequency around integer multiples and submultiples of the cavity round-trip frequency, different harmonic and subharmonic orders can be excited in the same device. Modulation-dependent behavior of the device has been studied with recorded lasing spectral broadening and locking bandwidths in each case.

The recent improvement in experimental capabilities for interrogating and controlling molecular systems with ultrafast coherent light sources calls for the development of theoretical approaches that can accurately and efficiently treat electronic coherence. However, the most popular and practical nonadiabatic molecular dynamics techniques, Tully's fewest-switches surface hopping and Ehrenfest mean-field dynamics, are unable to describe the dynamics proceeding from an initial electronic coherence. While such issues are not encountered with the analogous coupled-trajectory algorithms or numerically exact quantum dynamics methods, applying such techniques necessarily comes with a higher computational cost.

Cytochrome is a small redox-active heme protein that has served as an important model system for understanding biological electron transfer processes. Here, we present a comprehensive theoretical study of electron transport mechanisms in protein-metal junctions incorporating cytochrome using a multi-scale computational approach. Employing molecular dynamics (MD) simulations, we generated junction geometries for both vacuum-dried and solvated conditions, with the protein covalently bound to gold contacts in various configurations.
