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 …

This review summarizes progress in coherent control as well as relevant recent
achievements, highlighting, among several different schemes of coherent control, wave …

This review outlines advances that have been made in recent years (2005–2007) in the
study of ultrafast dynamics occurring in physical, chemical and biological research fields by …

We analyze theoretically the dynamics of N electrons localized in a narrow semiconductor
quantum ring under a train of phase-locked infrared laser pulses. The pulse sequence is …

This paper discusses the nature of heavy Rydberg states, ie quantum states in molecular
systems that are bound by the almost pure Coulomb potential between pairs of ions. A …

We demonstrate, both theoretically and experimentally, how to acquire nonlinear control
over the angular momentum of a cluster of solitary waves. Our results, stemming from a …

This critical review is intended to provide an overview of the state-of-the-art in femtosecond
laser technology and recent applications in ultrafast gas phase chemical dynamics …

Molecular Rydberg states have many unusual properties, lending themselves to a diverse
range of experimental applications. This book is designed to unravel the mysteries of …

Dissociation of iodine molecules by two phase-locked 110 femtosecond laser pulses creates
a wave packet in the repulsive part of the B state. The time-dependent density functions for …

A novel application of velocity-map imaging (VMI) is demonstrated, whereby the momentum
distribution of photoelectrons ejected from a tungsten nanoscale metal tip (< 50 nm radius) is …
