Abstract

Cis–Trans isomerization of retinal induced by incoherent solar light. Shown are ground and excited-state diabatic potentials; the horizontal lines represent bright eigenstates (red), intermediate eigenstates (blue), and product eigenstates (green). The inset: the photoreaction efficiency vs. time with (red) and without (blue) Fano coherences.
