Download or read book Molecular Quantum Dynamics written by Fabien Gatti and published by Springer Science & Business Media. This book was released on 2014-04-09 with total page 281 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book focuses on current applications of molecular quantum dynamics. Examples from all main subjects in the field, presented by the internationally renowned experts, illustrate the importance of the domain. Recent success in helping to understand experimental observations in fields like heterogeneous catalysis, photochemistry, reactive scattering, optical spectroscopy, or femto- and attosecond chemistry and spectroscopy underline that nuclear quantum mechanical effects affect many areas of chemical and physical research. In contrast to standard quantum chemistry calculations, where the nuclei are treated classically, molecular quantum dynamics can cover quantum mechanical effects in their motion. Many examples, ranging from fundamental to applied problems, are known today that are impacted by nuclear quantum mechanical effects, including phenomena like tunneling, zero point energy effects, or non-adiabatic transitions. Being important to correctly understand many observations in chemical, organic and biological systems, or for the understanding of molecular spectroscopy, the range of applications covered in this book comprises broad areas of science: from astrophysics and the physics and chemistry of the atmosphere, over elementary processes in chemistry, to biological processes (such as the first steps of photosynthesis or vision). Nevertheless, many researchers refrain from entering this domain. The book "Molecular Quantum Dynamics" offers them an accessible introduction. Although the calculation of large systems still presents a challenge - despite the considerable power of modern computers - new strategies have been developed to extend the studies to systems of increasing size. Such strategies are presented after a brief overview of the historical background. Strong emphasis is put on an educational presentation of the fundamental concepts, so that the reader can inform himself about the most important concepts, like eigenstates, wave packets, quantum mechanical resonances, entanglement, etc. The chosen examples highlight that high-level experiments and theory need to work closely together. This book thus is a must-read both for researchers working experimentally or theoretically in the concerned fields, and generally for anyone interested in the exciting world of molecular quantum dynamics.

Download or read book Time dependent Methods for Quantum Dynamics written by Kenneth C. Kulander and published by North Holland. This book was released on 1991 with total page 612 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This collection of articles clearly demonstrates that recent developments in time-dependent computational methods for quantum processes have resulted in significant contributions to the understanding of a remarkable broad spectrum of physical and chemical processes. These advances happened for two reasons. First, substantial improvements in the tools we use have occurred over the past decade and second there is a remarkable decrease in timescale over which observations of dynamical processes can be carried out. The papers presented here treat a wide variety of topics, including laser-induced dynamics by intense fields and short pulses, spectroscopy, tunneling, resonances, photodissociation, atomic collisions and gas-surface collisions, chemical reactions, molecular energy transfer, intramolecular relaxation, the influence of phase-space structure on quantum dynamics, nonadiabatic processes in condensed phases, systems in baths, nuclear collisions, fission, and fusion. The methods used in this issue include wave-packet propagation, Fourier transforms, time-dependent mean-field (SCF) methods, time-dependent correlation functions, path integrals, combined quantum/classical methods, hydrodynamic and fluid dynamical analogs, quantum statistical mechanics, perturbation theory, optical potentials and optimal control theory. This collection of time-dependent techniques is supplemented by a collection of 22 programs. Two of these are described in detail in the text. The programs are available in any desirable format and can be ordered by completing the coupon enclosed with the book.
Download or read book From Quantum to Classical Molecular Dynamics written by Christian Lubich and published by European Mathematical Society. This book was released on 2008 with total page 164 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Quantum dynamics of molecules poses a variety of computational challenges that are presently at the forefront of research efforts in numerical analysis in a number of application areas: high-dimensional partial differential equations, multiple scales, highly oscillatory solutions, and geometric structures such as symplecticity and reversibility that are favourably preserved in discretizations. This text addresses such problems in quantum mechanics from the viewpoint of numerical analysis, illustrating them to a large extent on intermediate models between the Schrodinger equation of full many-body quantum dynamics and the Newtonian equations of classical molecular dynamics. The fruitful interplay between quantum dynamics and numerical analysis is emphasized.

This book was released on 1998-06-17 with total page 881 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The school held at Villa Marigola, Lerici, Italy, in July 1997 was very much an educational experiment aimed not just at teaching a new generation of students the latest developments in computer simulation methods and theory, but also at bringing together researchers from the condensed matter computer simulation community, the biophysical chemistry community and the quantum dynamics community to confront the shared problem: the development of methods to treat the dynamics of quantum condensed phase systems.This volume collects the lectures delivered there. Due to the focus of the school, the contributions divide along natural lines into two broad groups: (1) the most sophisticated forms of the art of computer simulation, including biased phase space sampling schemes, methods which address the multiplicity of time scales in condensed phase problems, and static equilibrium methods for treating quantum systems; (2) the contributions on quantum dynamics, including methods for mixing quantum and classical dynamics in condensed phase simulations and methods capable of treating all degrees of freedom quantum-mechanically.

Download or read book Attosecond Molecular Dynamics written by Marc J J Vrakking and published by Royal Society of Chemistry. This book was released on 2018-08-31 with total page 512 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Attosecond science is a new and rapidly developing research area in which molecular dynamics are studied at the timescale of a few attoseconds. Within the past decade, attosecond pump–probe spectroscopy has emerged as a powerful experimental technique that permits electron dynamics to be followed on their natural timescales. With the development of this technology, physical chemists have been able to observe and control molecular dynamics on attosecond timescales. From these observations it has been suggested that attosecond to few-femtosecond timescale charge migration may induce what has been called “post-Born-Oppenheimer dynamics”, where the nuclei respond to rapidly time-dependent force fields resulting from transient localization of the electrons. These real-time observations have spurred exciting new advances in the theoretical work to both explain and predict these novel dynamics. This book presents an overview of current theoretical work relevant to attosecond science written by theoreticians who are presently at the forefront of its development. It is a valuable reference work for anyone working in the field of attosecond science as well as those studying the subject.
