Are excitons the excitons?
• The system evolves into new equilibrium with respect to the excited system configuration.
• The initial exciton becomes not the eigenstate

Search for the preferred basis

• The global basis is different:
• The density matrix is diagonal in the global basis at equilibrium

Quantum transport in 2D spectroscopy
• Diagonal peaks representstate populations
• Off-diagonal peaks aremixed: populations and coherences
• Off-diagonal oscillate due to quantum coherencesthis does not show quantum transport
• Exponential decay/rise of the diagonal peaks signify Classical Transport regime
• Oscillatory diagonal peaks signify Quantum Transport regime
Oscillation Fourier maps
• One contribution of the rephasing signal
assuming no bath-induced relaxation and Green’s function , gives

Choosing the basis
• GS basis and shifted basis are equivalent from the physical point of view
• In the GS basis approach, a larger number vibrational levels have to be considered
• Multi-particle states– 𝑒𝑖𝑔𝑗 first molecule is
vibronically excited; second molecule is vibrationallyexcited
– 𝑔𝑖𝑒𝑗 first molecule is vibrationally excited; second molecule is vibronicallyexcited
• One-particle approximation– 𝑒𝑖𝑔0 first molecule is
vibronically excited; second molecule in zero-quantum GS.
– 𝑔0𝑒𝑗 first molecule is in zero-quantum GS; second molecule is vibronicallyexcited

In which cases the one-particle approximation works?
• Let’s consider linear absorption dependence on resonant coupling
• One-particle approximation (OPA) can be used to simulate stationary spectra with low values of Huang–Rhys factor or large inhomogeneous broadening
• OPA fails completely if the system is in the vicinity of the exciton–vibronic resonance
• Validity of OPA in calculations with different laser pulse polarizations is highly questionable
• OPA will not give oscillations associated to mixed coherences†.

After the excitation, the electron appears in the initial state A. The transition along overdamped and underdamped coordinates are indicated as states B, C and D. The charge transfer may take place at any time while the most probable event happens in the state D.

Conclusions
• Two types of oscillations of either vibronic orelectronic character can be distinguished by the useof Fourier oscillation maps, constructed from thesequences of time-resolved 2D spectra.
• Inhomogeneous disorder influencesvibronic/electronic coherences differently.
• Vibrational coherences evolving in the ground stateand vibronic coherences in the excited state are equally significant.
