We present a detailed discussion of the evolution of a statistical ensemble of quantum mechanical systems coupled weakly to a bath. The Hilbert space of the full system is given by the tensor product between the Hilbert spaces associated with the bath and ...
Quantum physics is the backbone of modem science: therefore, a correct first step is essential for students' success in many different disciplines. Unfortunately, many didactic approaches are still complicated, potentially confusing and often historically ...
The Bases of Chemical Thermodynamics: Volume 2 In this volume (volume 2), the tools necessary to study and understand systems in which chemical reactions can take place are developed. The variables of reaction are the keys to this understanding. Criteria f ...
The fundamental aspects of classical thermodynamics are presented in a simple compact way. The equations derived are illustrated by numerous (111) examples, often direct application of the relations just obtained. The (four) laws of thermodynamics are pres ...
The Bases of Chemical Thermodynamics: Volume 1 In this volume (volume 1), the fundamental aspects of thermodynamics are presented. The first and second laws of thermodynamics are illustrated. The need to define thermodynamic temperature and the nature of e ...
A review with 6 refs. on research done at the Tech. University at Delft and the Swiss Federal Institute of Technol. at Lausanne on the thermodn. of complex bioprocesses, esp. thermodn. effects on proteins. [on SciFinder (R)] ...
We use infrared-visible double-resonance overtone excitation to prepare HOCl molecules in single, well-characterized rotational levels of the high OH stretching states v(OH) = 7 and v(OH) = 8. This work extends our recent studies on HOCl dissociation dynam ...
We have measured the ultrafast resonant Rayleigh scattering from quantum-well excitons using Fourier-transform spectral interferometry. The experiment simultaneously measures a statistically significant number of speckles with 100 fs temporal resolution. W ...
The aim of this paper is to present simple but efficient variance reduction methods for CONNFFESSIT-like simulations, extending the ideas of Hulsen et al. [J. Non-Newtonian Fluid Mech. 70 (1997) 79-101] and Ottinger et al. [J. Non-Newtonian Fluid Mech. 70 ...
