Reaction center exciton states. The exciton states, |ν˜, are defined as eigenstates of the stationary state density matrix, namely, ρe|ν˜=Pν|ν˜; parameters were taken from Table 1, where parameter set 1 (a) assumes high dynamic disorder and parameter set 2 (b) assumes low dynamic disorder. Orange circles (radius scales with diagonal elements of |ν˜ν|˜) indicate the participation of each pigment in an exciton state, and blue lines (thickness scales with absolute value of off-diagonal elements of |ν˜ν|˜) indicate inter-pigment coherence. Listed are also the steady-state population Pν and energy εν of each exciton state. The numbering of the states is in energetically ascending order.
