1. ExcitonsThe effective energy storage in antenna complexes is possible due to the presence of light-harvesting pigments (chlorophylls, carotenoids, bilins) with long-lived excited states and a high cross-section for light absorption.
The elementary excitation of the antenna is described by the wavefuction n, which correspond to excitation of the n-th pigment. Quantum mechanics dictates that when neighbouring pigments are coupled because they are closeby, the excited state of the complex is given by a superposition of such wavefunctions, i.e. c1n1+c2n2+…, where one elementary excitation is shared between a number of molecules.
Such a collective excitation (denoted ‘exciton’) is different from independently excited molecules n1, n2,… due to correlations (‘coherences’) between them given by c1*c2…… Such coherences can be produced if the electronic Hamiltonian contains off-diagonal terms, i.e. Hn2n1. In this coherent state one molecule ‘knows’ about the excitation of its neighbours.
This dramatically changes the spectrum of a pigment aggregate as well as the energy transfer dynamics. In natural antenna complexes these features produce more efficient light absorption, faster conversion from short- to long-wavelength spectral bands, and increase the irreversible trapping of excitations by the RC.

Transfer rates between two Chl molecules (as a function of the
energy gap and interaction energy between them) calculated according to modified Redfield (A) and Förster (B) expressions.
The specific non-monotonous dependence of the rates on the
energy gap and interaction energy is determined by the
shape of exciton-phonon spectral density for Chl.
