Time-dependent density-functional theory (TDDFT) describes the quantum dynamics of
interacting electronic many-body systems formally exactly and in a practical and efficient …

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 …

The goal of the present article is to review the major developments that have led to the
current understanding of molecule–field interactions and experimental methods for …

Molecular aggregates are abundant in nature; they form spontaneously in concentrated
solutions and on surfaces and can be synthesized by supramolecular chemistry techniques …

We review the progress in controlling quantum dynamical processes in the condensed
phase with femtosecond laser pulses. Due to its high particle density the condensed phase …

Time-dependent density-functional theory (TDDFT) extends the basic ideas of ground-state
density-functional theory (DFT) to the treatment of excitations and of more general time …

▪ Abstract We review prototype studies in the area of quantum control with femtosecond
lasers. We restrict this discussion to atoms and diatomics under gas-phase collision-free …

Polarization sha** of terahertz pulses enables us to manipulate the temporal evolution of
the amplitude and direction of electric-field vectors in a prescribed manner. Such arbitrary …

We demonstrate the generation of extreme-ultraviolet (XUV) free-electron laser (FEL) pulses
with time-dependent polarization. To achieve polarization modulation on a femtosecond …

We report clear evidence of all-optical orientation of carbonyl sulfide molecules with an
intense nonresonant two-color laser field in the adiabatic regime. The technique relies on …
