What is it about?
Our new extended perturbative approximation approach is numerically efficient and quality-conserved for analyzing the excitation energy transfer and exciton relaxation mechanisms in large pigment systems of photosynthetic light-harvesting/reaction-center complexes.

Why is it important?
Our new approach, including two conventional opposite limiting theories for qualitative analysis of exciton dynamics in any pigment systems, enables the rapid numerical analysis of the exciton dynamics of a large number of pigment systems.
Perspectives
We can elucidate the evolution of photosynthesis from a functional perspective by comparing the excitation energy transfer and exciton relaxation mechanisms of various light-harvesting and reaction-center systems with different numbers and types of pigments.
