Photo-induced electronic energy and charge transfer plays a key role in a variety of chemical, biological and technologically-important molecular systems. The simulation of the
underlying electronic dynamics is challenging due to its intrinsically quantum mechanical nature and the large number of coupled electronic and nuclear degrees of freedom involved. Quantum master equations provide a flexible and general-purpose framework for addressing this challenge.
