Quantum control is concerned with active manipulation of physical and chemical processes
on the atomic and molecular scale. This work presents a perspective of progress in the field …

The observation of coherent dynamics ensuing from the excitation of molecular systems by
femtosecond laser pulses is at the heart of femtochemistry. The time-dependent evolution of …

The last part of the twentieth century has experienced a huge resurge of activity in the field of
coherent light–matter interaction, more so in attempting to exert control over such …

▪ Abstract We review prototype studies in the area of quantum control with femtosecond
lasers. We restrict this discussion to atoms and diatomics under gas-phase collision-free …

Rather different problems can be lumped together under the general term'laser control of
atoms and molecules'. They include the laser selection of atomic and molecular velocities for …

We show that properly shaped terahertz (THz) fields can be used to move ions in
ferroelectric crystals from their positions in an initial domain orientation along well-defined …

Intense femtosecond lasers as well as X-ray free electron lasers provide new means to
produce multiply charged molecular cations. The fragmentation processes that these high …

The quantum control of the ionization of potassium atoms using shaped intense
femtosecond laser pulses is investigated. We use sinusoidal phase modulation as a …

A control system and apparatus for use with an ultra-fast laser is provided. In another aspect
of the present invention, the apparatus includes a laser, pulse shaper, detection device and …
