Themes
• Electronic coherence in biological supramolecular assemblies
• Non-adiabatic interactions and molecular coherent control
• Strategies for coherent control
• Applications of coherent control
• Strong-field high harmonic generation and alignment control
Faraday Discussion 153 aims to assess recent progress in our general understanding of coherence and control in chemistry and to define new avenues for future research, building on the achievements of FD113, held 10 years ago in Leeds, which defined many areas of current activity in the field of molecular reaction dynamics and coherent control.
The current meeting will bring together experimentalists and theoreticians working in all areas of physics and chemistry who have an interest in probing and controlling chemical interactions at the quantum resolved level with the aim of defining the future challenges in this field.
