| Course objective : | The aim of reactional dynamics is to observe, forsee and control elementary processes at the molecular level. The main topic is the study of the time evolution of molecular structures and the distribution of products in space. The current challenge of this science is to describe complex molecular systems, i.e. moieties inserted in an environment. Experimental techniques probing elementary processes are molecular beams and femtosecond lasers. The aim of the lecture is to give an introduction about theoretical tools necessary in order to extract information from experiments. A fundamental approach of molecular motion at the quantum level is often justified nowadays. The lecture opens perspectives on current topics like femtochemistry of photoinduced processes, laser control of reactivity and quantum computing. |
