We study the motion of a pair of electrons along two separate parallel chains of quantum dots. The electrons that are released from the central dot of each chain tend to accompany and not avoid each other. The correlated electron motion…

Conical intersections are ubiquitous in chemistry and physics, often governing processes such as light harvesting, vision, photocatalysis, and chemical reactivity. They act as funnels between electronic states of molecules, allowing rapid…

Electronic coherences are key to understanding and controlling photo-induced molecular transformations. We identify a crucial quantum-mechanical feature of electron-nuclear correlation, the projected nuclear quantum momenta, essential to…
