The role of quantum coherence in promoting the e ciency of the
initial stages of photosynthesis is an open and intriguing
question. Lee, Cheng, and Fleming, Science 316, 1462 (2007) The
understanding and design of functional biomaterials is one of
today's grand challenge areas that has sparked an intense exchange
between biology, materials sciences, electronics, and various other
disciplines. Many new - velopments are underway in organic
photovoltaics, molecular electronics, and biomimetic research
involving, e. g. , arti cal light-harvesting systems inspired by
photosynthesis, along with a host of other concepts and device
applications. In fact, materials scientists may well be advised to
take advantage of Nature's 3. 8 billion year head-start in
designing new materials for light-harvesting and electro-optical
applications. Since many of these developments reach into the
molecular domain, the - derstanding of nano-structured functional
materials equally necessitates f- damental aspects of molecular
physics, chemistry, and biology. The elementary energy and charge
transfer processes bear much similarity to the molecular phenomena
that have been revealed in unprecedented detail by ultrafast op-
cal spectroscopies. Indeed, these spectroscopies, which were
initially developed and applied for the study of small molecular
species, have already evolved into an invaluable tool to monitor
ultrafast dynamics in complex biological and materials systems. The
molecular-level phenomena in question are often of intrinsically
quantum mechanical character, and involve tunneling, non-Born-
Oppenheimer e ects, and quantum-mechanical phase coherence.
