DUBLIN--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Dublin - Research and Markets (http://www.researchandmarkets.com/research/9a4fc741/quantum_control_of) has announced the addition of John Wiley and Sons Ltd's new book "Quantum Control of Molecular Processes" to their offering.
Written by two of the world's leading researchers in the field, this is a systematic introduction to the fundamental principles of coherent control, and to the underlying physics and chemistry.
This fully updated second edition is enhanced by 80% and covers the latest techniques and applications, including nanostructures, attosecond processes, optical control of chirality, and weak and strong field quantum control. Developments and challenges in decoherence-sensitive condensed phase control as well as in bimolecular control are clearly described.
Indispensable for atomic, molecular and chemical physicists, physical chemists, materials scientists and nanotechnologists.
Key Topics Covered:
- Preliminaries of the Interaction of Light with Matter
- Weak-Field Photodissociation
- Weak-Field Coherent Control
- Control of Intramolecular Dynamics
- Optimal Control Theory
-.1 Decoherence
- Case Studies in Coherent Control
- Coherent Control of Bimolecular Processes
- The Interaction of Light with Matter: a Closer Look
- Coherent Control with Quantum Light
- Coherent Control beyond the Weak-Field Regime: Bound States and Resonances
- Photodissociation Beyond the Weak-Field Regime
- Coherent Control Beyond the Weak-Field Regime: the Continuum
- Coherent Control of the Synthesis and Purification of Chiral Molecules
- Strong-Field Coherent Control
- Coherent Control with Few-Cycle Pulses
