Even though time-dependent spectroscopic techniques continue to
push the frontier of chemical physics, they receive scant mention
in introductory courses and are poorly covered in standard texts.
Quantum Dynamics: Applications in Biological and Materials Systems
bridges the gap between what is traditionally taught in a
one-semester quantum chemistry course and the modern field of
chemical dynamics, presenting the quantum theory of charge and
energy transport in biological systems and optical-electronic
materials from a dynamic perspective. Reviews the basics Taking a
pedagogical approach, the book begins by reviewing the concepts of
classical mechanics that are necessary for studying quantum
mechanics. It discusses waves and wave functions and then moves on
to an exploration of semiclassical quantum mechanics methods, an
important part of the development and utilization of quantum
theory. Time-independent and time-dependent perspectives The main
focus of the book is the chapter on quantum dynamics, which begins
with a brief review of the bound states of a coupled two-level
system. This is discussed with a time-independent as well as a
time-dependent perspective. The book also explores what happens
when the two-level system has an additional harmonic degree of
freedom that couples the transitions between the two states. The
book reviews different ways in which one can represent the
evolution of a quantum state, explores the quantum density matrix,
and examines the basis for excitation energy transfer between
molecules. Later chapters describe the pi electronic structure of
conjugated organic systems and discuss electron-phonon coupling in
conjugated systems and transport and dynamics in extended systems.
