Vibronic mixing enables ultrafast energy flow in light-harvesting complex II

Excitation energy transfer within light-harvesting complex II underlies plant photosynthesis but its detailed mechanism is not yet understood. Here the authors explore, by 2D electronic-vibrational spectroscopy, the role of mixing of vibrational and electronic degrees of freedom.
