  • Molecular Structure and Modeling of Water–Air and Ice–Air Interfaces Monitored by Sum-Frequency Generation

    Chemical Reviews · 2020 · 204 citations

    From a glass of water to glaciers in Antarctica, water-air and ice-air interfaces are abundant on Earth. Molecular-level structure and dynamics at these interfaces are key for understanding many chemical/physical/atmospheric processes including the slipperiness of ice surfaces, the surface tension of water, and evaporation/sublimation of water. Sum-frequency generation (SFG) spectroscopy is a powerful tool to probe the molecular-level structure of these interfaces because SFG can specifically pr…

  • Roadmap on quantum light spectroscopy

    Journal of Physics B Atomic Molecular and Optical Physics · 2020 · 171 citations

    1st authorCorresponding

    Abstract Conventional spectroscopy uses classical light to detect matter properties through the variation of its response with frequencies or time delays. Quantum light opens up new avenues for spectroscopy by utilizing parameters of the quantum state of light as novel control knobs and through the variation of photon statistics by coupling to matter. This Roadmap article focuses on using quantum light as a powerful sensing and spectroscopic tool to reveal novel information about complex molecul…

  • Direct observation of coherent femtosecond solvent reorganization coupled to intramolecular electron transfer

    Nature Chemistry · 2021 · 104 citations

    DOI

  • Conical Intersection Passages of Molecules Probed by X-ray Diffraction and Stimulated Raman Spectroscopy

    The Journal of Physical Chemistry Letters · 2021 · 24 citations

    Senior authorCorresponding

    state is fully depopulated. The distribution of the vibronic frequencies involved in the coherence is recorded by the TRUECARS spectrogram. The TRXD signal provides spatial images of electron densities associated with the CoIn. In combination, the two signals provide a complementary picture of the nonadiabatic passage, which helps in the study of the underlying photophysics in thiobases.

  • The Quantum Information Science Challenge for Chemistry

    The Journal of Physical Chemistry Letters · 2025-01-29 · 21 citations

    reviewOpen access

    We discuss the goals and the need for quantum information science (QIS) in chemistry. It is important to identify concretely how QIS matters to chemistry, and we articulate some of the most pressing and interesting research questions at the interface between chemistry and QIS, that is, "chemistry-centric" research questions relevant to QIS. We propose in what ways and in what new directions the field should innovate, in particular where a chemical perspective is essential. Examples of recent res…
