Quantitative atom-atom potentials from rotational tunneling: their extraction and their use
Article Abstract:
This review addresses the hitherto unexploited technique of quantum tunneling to the analysis of small molecular groups. Discussion on the quantitative extraction of interatomic potentials as exemplified by methyl and amino groups, representing the common interatomic interactions encountered in physical sciences, material science, and biology is presented.

Decoding the dynamical information embedded in highly mixed quantum states
Article Abstract:
The applications of intramolecular vibrational energy redistribution process in the study of isolated polyatomic molecules is examined. The frequency-domain techniques in the spectroscopic studies of highly mixed quantum states or eigenstates of polyatomic molecules are the focus of this review.

Laser-induced population transfer by adiabatic passage techniques
Article Abstract:
This review discusses different techniques for studying laser-induced adiabatic population transfer between discrete quantum states. Two of the methods described are the chirped-pulse excitation and stimulated Raman adiabatic passage for coherent laser control of atomic and molecular processes.
