Abstract
The Fenna-Matthews-Olson (FMO) complex of green sulfur bacteria has been serving as a prototypical light-harvesting protein for studying excitation energy transfer (EET) dynamics in photosynthesis. The most widely used Frenkel exciton model for FMO complex assumes that each excited bacteriochlorophyll site couples to an identical and isolated harmonic bath, which does not account for the heterogeneous local protein environment. To better describe the realistic environment, we propose to use the recently developed multistate harmonic (MSH) model, which contains a globally shared bath that couples to the different pigment sites according to the atomistic quantum mechanics/molecular mechanics simulations with explicit protein scaffold and solvent. In this work, the effects of heterogeneous protein environment on EET in FMO complexes from Prosthecochloris aestuarii and Chlorobium tepidum, specifically including realistic spectral density, site-dependent reorganization energies, and system-bath couplings are investigated. Semiclassical and mixed quantum-classical mapping dynamics were applied to obtain the nonadiabatic EET dynamics in several models ranging from the Frenkel exciton model to the MSH model and their variants. The MSH model with realistic spectral density and site-dependent system-bath couplings displays slower EET dynamics than the Frenkel exciton model. Our comparative study shows that larger average reorganization energy, heterogeneity in spectral densities, and low-frequency modes could facilitate energy dissipation, which is insensitive to the static disorder in reorganization energies. The effects of the spectral densities and system-bath couplings along with the MSH model can be used to optimize EET dynamics for artificial light-harvesting systems.

Abstract
In biological and life science applications, photosynthesis is an important process that involves the absorption and transformation of sunlight into chemical energy. During the photosynthesis process, the light photons are captured by the green chlorophyll pigments in their photosynthetic antennae and further funneled to the reaction center. One of the most important light harvesting complexes that are highly important in the study of photosynthesis is the membrane-attached Fenna–Matthews–Olson (FMO) complex found in the green sulfur bacteria. In this review, we discuss the mathematical formulations and computational modeling of some of the light harvesting complexes including FMO. The most recent research developments in the photosynthetic light harvesting complexes are thoroughly discussed. The theoretical background related to the spectral density, quantum coherence and density functional theory has been elaborated. Furthermore, details about the transfer and excitation of energy in different sites of the FMO complex along with other vital photosynthetic light harvesting complexes have also been provided. Finally, we conclude this review by providing the current and potential applications in environmental science, energy, health and medicine, where such mathematical and computational studies of the photosynthesis and the light harvesting complexes can be readily integrated.

Abstract
A numerically exact approach, named as the hierarchical stochastic Schrödinger equation, is employed to investigate the resonant vibration-assisted excitation energy transfer in a dimer system, where an underdamped vibration with both diagonal and off-diagonal exciton-phonon interactions is incorporated. From a large parameter space over the site-energy difference, excitonic coupling, and reorganization energy, it is found that the promotion effect of the underdamped vibration is significant only when the excitonic coupling is smaller than the site-energy difference. Under the circumstance, there is an optimal strength ratio between diagonal and off-diagonal exciton-phonon interactions for the resonant vibration-assisted excitation energy transfer as the site-energy difference is greater than the reorganization energy, whereas in the opposite situation the most efficient energy transfer occurs as the exciton-phonon interaction is totally off-diagonal. © 2018 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.

Abstract
The accurate theoretical interpretation of ultrafast time-resolved spectroscopy experiments relies on full quantum dynamics simulations for the investigated system, which is nevertheless computationally prohibitive for realistic molecular systems with a large number of electronic and/or vibrational degrees of freedom. In this work, we propose a unitary transformation approach for realistic vibronic Hamiltonians, which can be coped with using the adaptive time-dependent density matrix renormalization group (t-DMRG) method to efficiently evolve the nonadiabatic dynamics of a large molecular system. We demonstrate the accuracy and efficiency of this approach with an example of simulating the exciton dissociation process within an oligothiophene/fullerene heterojunction, indicating that t-DMRG can be a promising method for full quantum dynamics simulation in large chemical systems. Moreover, it is also shown that the proper vibronic features in the ultrafast electronic process can be obtained by simulating the two-dimensional (2D) electronic spectrum by virtue of the high computational efficiency of the t-DMRG method.

Abstract
Recent experimental and theoretical studies have revealed that quantum coherence plays an important role in the excitation energy transfer in photosynthetic light-harvesting (LH) complexes. Inspired by the recent single-molecule two-color double-pump experiment, we theoretically investigate the effect of pulse shaping on observing coherent energy transfer in the single bacterial LH2 complex. It is found that quantum coherent energy transfer can be observed when the time delay and phase difference between the two laser pulses are controlled independently. However, when the two-color pulses are generated using the pulse-shaping method, how the laser pulses are prepared is crucial to the observation of quantum coherent energy transfer in single photosynthetic complexes.
