Coherent Control of Molecular Processes
Imperial College 25 April 2001
A One day meeting sponsored by the Spectroscopy Group of the
Institute of Physics and by the European Commission.
Local Organizers: J. Marangos and D.M. Segal
Scope This meeting will address theoretical and experimental aspects
of the coherent control of molecular processes. Laser radiation can
be used to control molecules at the quantum level, the exploration
of these concepts is now a very active field of research. A number
of control scenarios have recently been developed. These build on
the original concept of utilising quantum interference between
channels to optimise particular outcomes for a molecular process.
For instance optimal control using phase and amplitude tailored
ultra-short light pulses has been demonstrated both theoretically
and experimentally. A number of the world's leading experts in this
field will speak at the meeting. Contributions to the poster session
are strongly encouraged.
Generous bursaries are available from the spectroscopy group of the
Institute of Physics to help students meet the cost of travel and
accommodation. Contact D.M. Segal ([log in to unmask]), or Jamie
Gilmour ([log in to unmask])
There is no conference fee, though you must let us know you are
coming. You can do this by emailing D.M. Segal ([log in to unmask]).
