Since the pioneering works by Landau, Zener, Stückelberg, and Majorana (LZSM), it has
been known that driving a quantum two-level system results in tunneling between its states …

This paper presents a tutorial on the field of femtosecond pulse shaping, a technology that
enables generation of nearly arbitrary, user defined, ultrafast optical waveforms, with control …

Quantum control is concerned with active manipulation of physical and chemical processes
on the atomic and molecular scale. This work presents a perspective of progress in the field …

A transition between energy levels at an avoided crossing is known as a Landau–Zener
transition. When a two-level system (TLS) is subject to periodic driving with sufficiently large …

Optical arbitrary waveform generation will allow waveforms to be synthesized at optical
frequencies but with the flexibility currently available at radiofrequencies. This technique is …

Coherent anti-Stokes Raman scattering (CARS) spectroscopy is widely used for measuring
temperature and species concentration in reacting flows. This paper reviews the advances …

Molecular aggregates are abundant in nature; they form spontaneously in concentrated
solutions and on surfaces and can be synthesized by supramolecular chemistry techniques …

Ultrafast optics has undergone a revolution in the past two decades, driven by new methods
of pulse generation, amplification, manipulation, and measurement. We review the …
