"Weinacht and Pearson have produced a simple and direct introduction to the modern methods and motivations of ultrafast science, intended as a first text for students and scholars interested in this field. The chapter sections interleave physical concepts such as wave packets, correlated motion, or quantum tunneling with clear descriptions of the techniques that ultrafast optical scientists have developed in the last two decades, including the sources and tools of the trade. The result is an excellent introduction and practical guide to time resolved measurements."
--Philip H. Bucksbaum, Marguerite Blake Wilbur Chair and Professor of Photon Science, Applied Physics, and Physics, Stanford University
"How do I measure a ‘molecular movie’? Which observables do I obtain and how can they be interpreted? To answer these questions, a deeper understanding of the physics and the underlying models and assumptions, as well as the experimental techniques is essential. This is exactly the aim of this clearly written textbook. So far, no textbook exists that focuses on a time-dependent perspective accessible for both theoreticians and experimentalists. It succeeds in improving the common level of basic understanding of (quantum) dynamical models and experimental techniques...an excellent textbook"
--Prof. Dr. Stefanie Gräfe, Institute of Physical Chemistry, Abbe Center for Photonics, Jena University
"An excellent, well-written and easy to read text. The approach is insightful, nicely blending intuitive physical pictures with sufficient mathematical formalism to enable calculations of real quantities of interest. The authors explain what information can be extracted from a variety of standard measurement techniques, including strengths and weaknesses of the various methods. I do not see a comparable book out there. I recommend it highly, not only for lecture courses on ultrafast spectroscopy and/or molecular dynamics, but as a primer for undergraduate and graduate students as they begin research projects in these areas. I intend to make it standard reading for students joining my group." --Robert R. Jones, Department Chair and Francis H. Smith Professor of Physics, University of Virginia
This concise and carefully developed text offers a reader friendly guide to the basics of time-resolved spectroscopy with an emphasis on experimental implementation. The authors carefully explain and relate for the reader how measurements are connected to the core physical principles. They use the time-dependent wave packet as a building block for understanding quantum dynamics, progressively advancing to more complex topics. The topics are discussed in paired sections, one discussing the theory and the next presenting the related experimental methods.
A wide range of readers including students and newcomers to the field will gain a clear and practical understanding of how to measure aspects of molecular dynamics such as wave packet motion, intramolecular vibrational relaxation, and electron-electron coupling, and how to describe such measurements mathematically.
