When ultracold plasma is generated using photonization of laser cooled atoms, some atoms reach only upto Rydberg states. These in turn interact with the free electrons of the plasma and get ionized further. We study the interaction of…
It can be argued that electron correlation, as a concept, deserves the same prominence in general chemistry as molecular orbital theory. We show how it acts as Nature's "chemical glue" at both the molecular and supramolecular levels.…
Ultrafast electron delocalization induced by a fs laser pulse is a well-known process and is the initial step for important applications such as fragmentation of molecules or laser ablation in solids. It is well understood that an intense…

The Electron Localization Function (ELF) -- as proposed originally by Becke and Edgecombe -- has been widely adopted as a descriptor of atomic shells and covalent bonds. The ELF takes into account the antisymmetry of Fermions but it…
Quantum entanglement is a concept commonly used with reference to the existence of certain correlations in quantum systems that have no classical interpretation. It is a useful resource to enhance the mutual information of memory channels…
