The numerical prediction, theoretical analysis, and experimental verification of the
phenomenon of wave packet revivals in quantum systems has flourished over the last …

The development of femtosecond lasers brought entirely new possibilities into the practice of
timeresolved spectroscopy, for both UV-vis and IR-Raman spectroscopies. In addition, it has …

Photodissociation induced by the absorption of single photons permits the detailed study of
molecular dynamics such as the breaking of bonds, internal energy transfer and …

The genesis of the exploration of electron transfer (ET) in the condensed phase dates back
to the origins of chemistry in the nineteenth century. In 1808 Humphry Davy observed [1] that …

We present an interpretation of scar states and quantum revivals as weakly “broken”
representations of Lie algebras spanned by a subset of eigenstates of a many-body …

▪ Abstract There has been much progress in the control of chemical reactions since methods
of active control were first proposed by Brumer & Shapiro and by Tannor & Rice ten years …

We present a review of wave-packet dynamics, with a focus on'femto-chemistry'. We review
basic theory and simple properties of wave-packets, the application of two-state models to …

The study and control of molecular dynamics through the use of femtosecond laser
techniques require an understanding of various orders of molecular wave-packet …

Fundamental studies of chemical reactions often consider the molecular dynamics along a
reaction coordinate using a calculated or suggested potential energy surface,,,–. But fully …

We describe the time evolution of a wave function in the infinite square well using a
fractional revival formalism, and show that at all times the wave function can be described as …
