Dynamical simulations of carotenoid photoexcited states using density matrix renormalization group techniques

We present a dynamical simulation scheme to model the highly correlated excited state dynamics of linear polyenes. We apply it to investigate the internal conversion processes of carotenoids following their photoexcitation. We use the extended Hubbard-Peierls model, ˆ H UVP, to describe the π-elect...
