Polaritonic chemistry exploits strong light–matter coupling between molecules and confined
electromagnetic field modes to enable new chemical reactivities. In systems displaying this …

The Born–Oppenheimer approximation underlies much of chemical simulation and provides
the framework defining the potential energy surfaces that are used for much of our pictorial …

Femtosecond nonlinear spectroscopy is the main tool for the time-resolved detection of
photophysical and photochemical processes. Since most systems of chemical interest are …

Coherence refers to correlations in waves. Because matter has a wave-particle nature, it is
unsurprising that coherence has deep connections with the most contemporary issues in …

Molecular junctions, where single molecules are bound to metal or semiconductor
electrodes, represent a unique architecture to investigate molecules in a distinct …

We present the reaction-coordinate polaron-transform (RCPT) framework for generating
effective-Hamiltonian models to treat nonequilibrium open quantum systems at strong …

Cold atomic gases have become a paradigmatic system for exploring fundamental physics,
which at the same time allows for applications in quantum technologies. The accelerating …

In this Colloquium, the wave-function-based multiconfigurational time-dependent Hartree
approaches to the dynamics of indistinguishable particles (MCTDH-F for fermions and …

The simulation of open quantum dynamics is a critical tool for understanding how the non-
classical properties of matter might be functionalised in future devices. However, unlocking …

This review provides the fundamental theoretical tools for the development of a complete
wave‐function formalism for the study of time‐evolution of chemico‐physical systems at finite …
