Strong correlation remains a significant challenge for DFT with no satisfying solutions found yet within the standard Kohn-Sham framework. Instead, for decades, a number of different approaches have been suggested to combine the accuracy of multiconfigurational methods with the efficiency of DFT. In this article, we demonstrate that many of these methods are or would be significantly improved by b

We investigated the exciton transfer dynamics in photosynthetic light-harvesting complex 2 (LH2) coupled to an optical microcavity. Using computational simulations based on Redfield theory, we analyzed how microcavity coupling influences energy relaxation and transfer within and between LH2 aggregates. Our results show that the exciton transfer rate between B850 rings follows a square dependence o

Let $G$ be a Lie group equipped with a left-invariant Riemannian metric. Let $K$ be a semisimple and normal subgroup of $G$ generating a left-invariant conformal foliation $\F$ on $G$. We then show that the foliation $\F$ is Riemannian and minimal. This means that locally the leaves of $\F$ are fibres of a harmonic morphism. We also prove that if the metric restricted to $K$ is biinvariant then

The temporal evolution of the transient absorption response of light‐harvesting antennae and dye molecules was studied. Using 40—90 fs pulses coherent nuclear motions were observed in intact membrane‐bound photosynthetic light‐harvesting pigment‐protein complexes, bacteriochlorophyll α monomer and dye molecules in solutions. Computer simulations based on the harmonic Franck—Condon approximation an

This paper investigates resilient performance of Air Traffic Management with future Artificial Intelligence (AI)-based tools. A case study was performed on an early prototype of an AI-enabled Flight Information Service (FIS) tool, using a survey of flight instructors and air traffic controllers, and a focus group with controllers with flying experience. The study focused on what characterizes good

The popularity of the Vikings and the Viking Age in Scandinavian history cultures never seems to fade. As a projection surface for meaning-making needs in the present, the Viking Age constantly finds new ways to mirror the present, thus voicing new history-cultural trends. However, the Vikings carry heavy history-cultural traditions that tend to lead them to being portrayed as national symbols and

ZnS nanoparticles co-doped with Ni–Cr and Ni–Cu were synthesized by chemical precipitation and systematically examined for structural, optical, magnetic, and magneto-transport properties. All samples retained the cubic zinc blende phase with nanoscale crystallinity. Optical studies showed that Ni doping induced bandgap narrowing through sp-d exchange, while Cu and Cr introduced Burstein-Moss-type
