Author ProfileAbstract
Excitation energy transfer is a ubiquitous process of fundamental
importance for understanding natural phenomena, such as photosynthesis,
as well as advancing technologies ranging from photovoltaics to
development of photosensitizers and fluorescent labels. This work
provides an overview of recent advancements in excitation energy
transfer modeling with the PyFREC software package. Computational
methods currently implemented in PyFREC include molecular fragmentation
techniques, as well as methods for electronic coupling computations,
analysis of coupled electronic excited states, and quantum dynamics
simulations. Advanced functionality and possible vectors for future
development of the package are also explored.
