Studies of quantum thermal effects on molecular excitation dynamics have often relied on oversimplified models, such as energy eigenstates or low-dimensional potentials, which fail to capture the complexity of real chemical systems. In…

The most common species in liquid water, next to neutral H$_2$O molecules, are the H$_3$O$^+$ and OH$^-$ ions. In a dynamic picture, their exact concentrations depend on the time scale at which these are probed. Here, using a…
A qualitative model is proposed for a pair of atoms: oxygen and hydrogen in a single-mode optical cavity, bound by one valence electron and immersed in a thermal bath. The interaction of an electron with the cavity field depends on the…

CO2 is one of the dominant components of the interstellar ice. Recent observations show CO2 exists more abundantly in polar (H2O-dominated) ice than in apolar (H2O-poor) ice. CO2 ice formation is primarily attributed to the reaction between…
