Controlled Forward and Inverse Chemical Dynamics

摘要

This research explored a variety of interrelated topics in the general area of controlling molecular dynamics phenomena with tailored laser pulses. The research concerned the development of new algorithms for the design of such laser pulses, as well as for directly aiding the laboratory implementation of laser-controlled molecular processes. In addition, studies were carried out to explore the possibility of using data from control experiments to provide detailed insights into molecular properties. The theoretical research summarized in this report is having a direct impact on the rapidly emerging successful experiments in controlling molecular-scale processes.
