Summary

[edit]
Description

When the difference in the excitation energy of two light-absorbing pigments within these light-gathering molecules is close to the frequency a collective vibrational motion, a resonance occurs. As the excitation is transferred from one pigment to the other, this collective vibration takes on a state with no classical analogue as indicated by negative regions of a (quasi)probability distribution illustrated here.
