Time-Dependent Quantum Mechanics & Spectroscopy

This graduate-level course lays the foundations of time-dependent quantum mechanics and applications to contemporary optical spectroscopies, particularly ultrafast techniques. Formal theoretical descriptions for nonlinear spectroscopic techniques including transient absorption, photon echo, and two-dimensional spectroscopies will be developed. Practical aspects of these experiments including modern laser systems, instrument design, data collection, data processing, and data analysis will also be discussed. Discussion of current literature in the field will be an important component of the course. Prerequisite courses: Chem 401 or permission from the instructor.
