Lecture
This lecture covers the temporal evolution of perturbed quantum systems, the interaction of molecules with light, electric transition dipole moments, selection rules for electronic transitions, exciton formation, Franck-Condon principle, absorption and emission spectra, Jablonski diagram, optical gap and degree of electronic delocalization, effective conjugation length, excitonic coupling in dimers, spectral signatures of H and J aggregates, Davydov splitting, spectroscopic aggregates, and learning outcomes related to the interaction of light with molecules.
