<jats:title>Abstract</jats:title><jats:p>We review recent work employing high‐dimensional quantum dynamical techniques to study ultrafast charge separation in functional organic materials, in view of understanding the key microscopic factors that lead to efficient charge generation in photovoltaics applications. As highlighted by recent experiments, these processes can be guided by quantum coherence, despite the presence of static and dynamic disorder. The present approach combines first‐principles parametrized lattice Hamiltonians, based on Time‐Dependent Density Functional Theory (TDDFT) and/or high‐level electronic structure calculations, with accurate quantum dynamics simulations using the Multi‐Configuration Time‐Dependent Hartree (MCTDH) method. This contribution specifically addresses the mechanism of charge generation in (i) regioregular oligothiophene‐fullerene aggregates, and (ii) highly ordered oligothiophene‐perylene diimide co‐oligomer assemblies. These studies highlight that chemical design of donor–acceptor combinations needs to account for the effects of electronic delocalization and the modified energetics due to molecular packing, as well as multiple transfer pathways and internal conversion channels induced by vibronic interactions.</jats:p>
