A propos de ce titre

Synopsis

The goal of the book is to provide a simple and conceptually intuitive introduction to nonlinear spectroscopy via the formalism of quantum processes and wavepacket dynamics. Through this unified framework, the authors provide t simple analytical models, examples, and concepts to understand the workings of nonlinear spectroscopy in depth. This book provides an introduction to the field for advanced undergraduate, graduate students, and researchers, in a simple and pedagogical manner. It will also be useful for practitioners who are already familiar with the subject, but who want to develop a more conceptual understanding of it.

À propos des auteurs

Alán Aspuru-Guzik is a Professor at Harvard University in the Department of Chemistry and Chemical Biology. He received his doctoral degree from the University of California, Berkeley, and was the recipient of the 35 Innovators under 35 by MIT Technology Review for his contributions to the intersection of quantum information and quantum chemistry. In this context, he is interested in how chemical experiments such as ultrafast spectroscopy can be interpreted using ideas from quantum information. More about his work can be found on his home page, http: //aspuru.chem.harvard.edu.

Joel Yuen-Zhou is currently the Robert J. Silbey Postdoctoral Fellow in the Center of Excitonics at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology. He received a BSc in Chemistry and Mathematics from the same school in 2007 and a PhD in Chemical Physics from Harvard University in 2012. His research interests are broadly located in the realm of quantum dynamics, specializing in nonlinear spectroscopy, quantum information, time-dependent density functional theory, and topological phases of matter.
