Conical intersections are crucial molecular switching points in light-driven reactions, but accurately predicting them ...

Using a trapped-ion quantum computer, the research team witnessed the interference pattern of a single atom caused by a 'conical intersection'. Conical intersections are known throughout chemistry and ...

In order to define a PES, one must first invoke the Born–Oppenheimer approximation (BOA), which assumes that the electrons of an atomic system relax instantaneously to their lowest energy distribution ...

Molecular fluorescence is used in daily life, e.g. fluorescent paint, fluorescence probe, and so on. A number of researches have been done to develop fluorescent molecules. The cost for design of new ...

(Nanowerk News) Researchers at Duke University have implemented a quantum-based method to observe a quantum effect in the way light-absorbing molecules interact with incoming photons. Known as a ...
