We are pleased to call your attention to the publication of the following book:
Principles of the Quantum Control of Molecular Processes
by Moshe Shapiro and Paul Brumer
The publisher's description of the book reads as follows:
Over the past fifteen years, significant developments have been made in
utilizing quantum attributes of light and matter to assume unprecedented
control over the dynamics of atomic and molecular systems. This growth
reflects a confluence of factors including the maturation of quantum
mechanics as a tool for chemistry and physics, the development of new laser
devices increasing our ability to manipulate light, and the recognition
that coherent laser light can be used to imprint information on atoms and
molecules for practical purposes. Principles of the Quantum Control of
Molecular Processes offers a systematic introduction to the fundamental
principles of coherent control, and to the physics and chemistry necessary
to master it.
Designed as both a resource for self-study and as a graduate textbook, this
survey of the subject provides a step-by-step discussion of light-matter
interactions along with coverage of such essential topics as:
Molecular dynamics and control
The dynamics and control of photodissociation
Altering bimolecular collision processes
The control of chirality and asymmetric synthesis
Application of control using moderate and strong fields
Tuning system and laser parameters to achieve optimal control
Decoherence and its suppression
