Optimal rates for electron transfer in Marcus theory

We examine electron transfer between two quantum states in the presence of a dissipative environment represented as a set of independent harmonic oscillators. For this simple model, the Marcus transfer rates can be derived from the equations of motion for electronic operators and we show that these...
