We show (i) how the evolution of a wave packet created from an initial thermal ensemble
can be controlled by manipulating interferences during the wave packet's fractional revivals …

We study control of wave packets with a finite accuracy, approaching it as quantum
information processing. For a given control resolution, we define the analogs of several …

Methods of controlling molecular rotations using linearly polarized femtosecond and
picosecond pulses are considered and analyzed theoretically. These laser pulses, typically …

We propose a simple approach for suppressing decoherence of a wave packet excited in an
anharmonic oscillator. We show that when a resonant external field forces the oscillator to …

We develop the theory for the adiabatic Raman photoassociation (ARPA) of ultracold atoms
to form ultracold molecules in the presence of scattering resonances. Based on a …

We study the prospects of controlling transmission of broadband and bichromatic laser
pulses through turbid samples. The ability to focus transmitted broadband light is limited via …

We demonstrate theoretically and experimentally the extraction of detailed information on
the density matrix of very-high-n (> 300) near-circular Rydberg wave packets through …

We describe an approach to controlling wavepacket dynamics and a criterion of wavepacket
controllability based on discretized properties of the wavepacket's localization on the orbit …

We demonstrate experimentally and theoretically that the spatial distribution of high-angular-
momentum Rydberg wave packets, and thus off-diagonal elements of the density matrix, can …
