A QED Theory of Mediated RET Between a Pair of Chiral Molecules — •Akbar Salam — Department of Chemistry, Wake Forest University, Winston-Salem, NC 27109, USA

A QED [1] theory of relayed resonance energy transfer (RET) [2] between a pair of identical chiral molecules by one or two neutral, passive, electric dipole polarizable bodies, is developed. Migration of excitation energy occurs via the exchange of a single virtual photon between any two interacting particles. Isotropic Fermi golden rule transfer rates are evaluated for direct and bridge-mediated pathways. Rates from both routes depend on the chirality of the donor and acceptor moieties [3-5]. For conveyance of energy to take place indirectly, a multi-level model must be adopted for each mediator polarizability. Furthermore, the rate is found to be a maximum when the three or four particles are collinear. Useful understanding is achieved of propagation of energy between optically active entities in a medium with uniform dielectric constant [6]. [1]*A.
