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 …

Chiral recognition in the gas phase using light is a challenge because of the low particle
densities involved. However, such collision free conditions offer great promise for highly …

In this review, we report on recent progress in the generation and application of
multichromatic polarization-tailored pulse sequences for the coherent control of multiphoton …

The resonant dynamic Stark effect, observed in the Autler-Townes (AT) splitting, plays a
central role in ultrafast strong-field physics. Recent experiments have demonstrated the …

We present a systematic SU (2) approach for construction of composite sequences of pulses
with smooth temporal shapes that produce high-fidelity two-state excitation profiles. This …

The energy levels of atoms and molecules exposed to intense, short, high-frequency laser
pulses undergo time-dependent distortion known as dynamic Stark shift (DSS). These level …

Coherent light–matter interaction provides powerful methods for manipulating quantum
systems,,. Rabi oscillation is one such process. As it enables complete population transfer to …

Exploiting coherence properties of laser light together with quantum mechanical matter
interferences in order to steer a chemical reaction into a pre-defined target channel is the …

Photoelectron circular dichroism (PECD) of fenchone induced by short coherent broadband
laser pulses is studied theoretically using the time-dependent single-center method. In …

Photoionization through single-photon absorption by two synchronous, linearly chirped,
oppositely circularly polarized, attosecond pulses is known [NJ Strandquist, Jr., and JM …
