Strong resonant dipole-dipole interactions in flexible Rydberg aggregates enable the formation of exciton pulses, the interplay of atomic motion and electronic excitation transfer which feature high fidelity entanglement transport. Here, we…
Phase separation is the thermodynamic process that explains how droplets form in multicomponent fluids. These droplets can provide controlled compartments to localize chemical reactions, and reactions can also affect the droplets' dynamics.…
Conical intersections are crossing points or lines between two or more adiabatic electronic potential energy surfaces in the multi-dimensional coordinate space of colliding atoms and molecules. Conical intersections and corresponding…
The study of interactions between biomimetic membranes and micron-sized particles is crucial for understanding various biological processes. Here, we control microparticle spontaneous engulfment by giant lipid vesicles by tuning particle…
Biomolecular condensates organize biochemical processes by spatially concentrating molecules while allowing for dynamic exchange with their surroundings. However, transport across their interface can be strongly attenuated, leading to…
Conical intersections are common in molecular physics and photochemistry, and are often invoked to explain observed reaction products. A conical intersection can occur when an excited electronic potential energy surface intersects with the…
Light-induced conical intersections (LICIs) can be formed both by standing or by running laser waves. The position of a LICI is determined by the laser frequency while the laser intensity controls the strength of the nonadiabatic coupling.…
We simulate the nonequilibrium steady state \textit{cis-trans} photoisomerization of retinal chromophore in rhodopsin based on a two-state-two-mode model coupled to a thermal environment. By analyzing the systematic trends within an…
Electronic degeneracies and near-degeneracies including conical intersections and avoided crossings, typically accompanied by strong vibronic couplings and nonadiabatic transitions, play fundamental roles in photochemical, photophysical and…
We probe the dynamics of dissociating CS$_2$ molecules across the entire reaction pathway upon excitation. Photoelectron spectroscopy measurements using laboratory-generated femtosecond extreme ultraviolet pulses monitor the competing…
Conical intersections (CoIn) dominate the pathways and outcomes of virtually all photophysical and photochemical molecular processes. Despite extensive experimental and theoretical effort, CoIns have not been directly observed yet and the…
The structure and quantum state of the reactants have a profound impact on the kinetics and dynamics of chemical reactions. Over the past years, significant advances have been made in the control and manipulation of molecules with external…
The physical foundations of the dissipation of energy and the associated heating in weakly collisional plasmas are poorly understood. Here, we compare and contrast several measures that have been used to characterize energy dissipation and…
The geometric phase is a fundamental quantum mechanical phenomenon uniquely associated with conical intersections (CI) between potential energy surfaces and serves as a definitive signature of their presence. In this study, we propose a…
Chemical waves constitute a known class of dissipative structures emerging in reaction-diffusion systems. They play a crucial role in biology, spreading information rapidly to synchronize and coordinate biological events. We develop a…
We study the dynamics of the quantum phase distribution associated with the reduced density matrix of a system for a number of situations of practical importance, as the system evolves under the influence of its environment, interacting via…
Canonical jet in supersonic crossflow studies have been widely used to study fundamental physics relevant to a variety of applications. While most JISC works have considered gaseous injection, liquid injection is also of practical interest…
One-dimensional non-equilibrium models of particles subjected to a coagulation-diffusion process are important in understanding non-equilibrium dynamics, and fluctuation-dissipation relation. We consider in this paper transport properties…
Chemical processes in closed systems are poorly controllable since they always relax to equilibrium. Living systems avoid this fate and give rise to a much richer diversity of phenomena by operating under nonequilibrium conditions. Recent…
Heavy Ion Collisions (HIC) represent a unique tool to probe the in-medium nuclear interaction in regions away from saturation. In this work we present a selection of reaction observables in dissipative collisions particularly sensitive to…
