Ultrafast quantum control subject of Director’s ColloquiumApril 9, 2007
Research into how ultrafast laser pulses can be used to freeze motion in molecules is the subject of a Director’s Colloquium Thursday at the Laboratory.
Philip Bucksbaum, an atomic physicist and director of the Photon Ultrafast Laser Science and Engineering Center at Stanford University, will talk at 1:10 p.m., in the Physics Building Auditorium. The talk is open to all badge holders and will be broadcast on LABNET Channel 9 and on desktop computers using Real Media Stream and IPTV technology. Bucksbaum will discuss ultrafast quantum control, and how ultrafast techniques can be used to create images of the internal workings of molecules. He will explain how his research aims to not only observe, but also control basic quantum processes in atoms and molecules, said Toni Taylor of the Center for Integrated Nanotechnologies (MPA-CINT).
