Energy‐ transfer and charge‐separation pathways in the bacterial reaction center may be revealed by coherent two‐dimensional optical spectroscopy. The excited state dynamics and relaxation of electrons and holes are simulated using a two‐band tight‐binding model. The dissipative exciton and charge carrier motions are calculated using a transport theory, which includes a strong coupling to a harmonic bath with experimentally determined spectral density, and reduces to the Redfield, the Förster, and the Marcus expressions in the proper parameter regimes. Direct spectroscopic signatures of the charge separation are identified.
