In this study, the effects of thermal light-matter interaction on the dynamics of photo-induced electronic transitions in molecules were investigated using a novel first principles approach based on thermo-field dynamics. The results showed that continuous interaction with thermal radiation field creates a mixed ensemble of electronic/excitonic systems that can sustain coherent oscillations for relatively long times. These findings are particularly important for understanding electronic transitions induced by sunlight excitation. Analytical results based on time-dependent perturbation theory supported the numerical simulations and provided a simple interpretation of the time evolution of quantum observables.
The effects of thermal light-matter interaction on the dynamics of photo-induced electronic transitions in molecules are investigated using a novel first principles approach based on the thermo-field dynamics description of both the molecular vibrational modes and of the radiation field. The developed approach permits numerically accurate simulations of quantum dynamics of electronic/excitonic systems coupled to nuclear and photonic baths kept at different temperatures. The baths can be described by arbitrary spectral densities and can have any system-bath coupling strengths. In agreement with the results obtained previously by less rigorous methods, we show that the excitation process obtained by the continuous interaction with the suddenly turned-on thermal radiation field creates a mixed ensemble having a nonnegligible component consisting of a superposition of vibronic eigenstates which can sustain coherent oscillations for relatively long times. The results become especially relevant for the dynamics of electronic transitions upon sunlight excitation. Analytical results based on time-dependent perturbation theory support the numerical simulations and provide a simple interpretation of the time evolution of quantum observables.
