The topological properties of an object, associated with an integer called the topological
invariant, are global features that cannot change continuously but only through abrupt …

▪ Abstract This review discusses recent quantum scattering calculations on bimolecular
chemical reactions in the gas phase. This theory provides detailed and accurate predictions …

Ultracold molecules offer unprecedented opportunities for the controlled interrogation of
molecular events, including chemical reactivity in the ultimate quantum regime. The …

Aimed at graduate physics and chemistry students, this is the first comprehensive
monograph covering the concept of the geometric phase in quantum physics from its …

Theory has established the importance of geometric phase (GP) effects in the adiabatic
dynamics of molecular systems with a conical intersection connecting the ground-and …

In this review, we survey the latest advances in theoretical understanding of bimolecular
reaction dynamics in the past decade. The remarkable recent progress in this field has been …

Understanding quantum interferences is essential to the study of chemical reaction
dynamics. Here, we provide an interesting case of quantum interference between two …

▪ Abstract Crossed-molecular-beam and laser techniques have enabled experimentalists to
measure the state-resolved differential cross sections of elementary chemical reactions. This …

Quantum interference between reaction pathways around a conical intersection (CI) is an
ultrasensitive probe of detailed chemical reaction dynamics. Yet, for the hydrogen exchange …

The crossing of two electronic potential surfaces (a conical intersection) should result in
geometric phase effects even for molecular processes confined to the lower surface …
