Study on Metal-Ligand Interactions: Infrared Ion Spectroscopy of Coordination Compounds

When
-

Abstract: A molecular level investigation of metal-ligand interactions that govern structure and function in coordination complexes. Coordination compounds perform a wide variety of important chemical tasks, from the biochemical transport of molecules and ions to industrial applications in electrocatalysis and contaminant sequestration. Coordination chemistry with organic ligands is ubiquitous, providing chemical access to over half of the periodic table.

Setting Experimental Bounds on Entangled Two-Photon Absorption Cross Sections

When
-

Entangled two-photon absorption (E2PA) is a process in which entangled photon pairs are used instead of a pulsed laser to excite a two-photon transition. The correlation of these photons in time and space may improve the excitation efficiency. In this work, we develop experimental apparatuses that enable sensitive measurements of E2PA via both transmittance and fluorescence-based schemes. We show strong evidence that E2PA cross sections are several orders of magnitude lower than many prior reports claimed.

Characterizing Quantum Devices Using the Principles of Quantum Information

When
-

Abstract: The past few decades have born out exquisite improvements in the control of quantum systems, with quantum computing and quantum metrology at the forefront. It has therefore become essential to design methodologies for assessing the performance of these devices. Unsurprisingly, the field of quantum information has already paved the way forward.
