Absorption spectra of molecular aggregates at finite temperature — •Sebastian Möbius1, Gerhard Ritschel1, Jan Roden2, Alexander Eisfeld2, and Walter Strunz11Institut für Theoretische Physik, Dresden, Germany — 2MPIPKS, Dresden, Germany

We compare different methods to calculate molecular absorption spectra for a monomer in a thermal environment. Starting with a master equation that describes the molecular system and a finite temperature bath, it is possible to derive an expression for the absorption spectrum using the quantum regression theorem. On the other hand, approaches via stochastic Schrödinger equations are discussed: first, the influence of a thermal environment can be replaced by a suitably chosen Markov process. Secondly, employing colored processes, the dynamics of the vibrational degrees of freedom at finite temperature may be described efficiently by c-numbers as well [1]. Aiming at absorption spectra of molecular aggregates, we investigate the efficiency of stochastic methods.
