Selective state preparation

Questions concerning IVR processes in the trimer, however, were by no means answered satisfactorily. As presented in this book (Sect. 3.2.4), the effect of selective state preparation can be achieved by variation of the exciting pump pulse duration. The possibility of preparing specific vibrational modes by ultrafast pulses provides a detailed understanding on how the in-... 

In this book an overview has been given of the amazing opportunities provided by femtosecond real-time spectroscopy applied to small molecules and clusters. Fascinating phenomena such as control of molecular dynamics, selective state preparation, observation of vibrational wave packets on ground state PESs, ultrafast IVR, and photodissociation with unexpected and sometimes exceptional features have been introduced. 

US patent 6,759,521, Polarization switching to control crystal form [113]. This patent describes a method to select and prepare polymorphs of materials by switching the polarization state of light and employing non-photochemical laser-induced nucleation. 

Using various detection sub-sequences, it is possible to select distinct nuclear magnetization components and thus discriminate between various sample components and/or distinct relaxation mechanisms. In combination with various possibilities of initial state preparation, this represents a powerful NMR relaxometry tool which, at present, is far from being completely exploited. 

Gas-surface dynamics experiments using initial state preparation techniques are still relatively uncommon. Molecules with permanent dipole moments can be oriented in hexapole electric fields. For example, NO from a supersonic nozzle can be fully quantum state selected in such fields and this allows studies of the dependence of S or scattering P on molecular orientation to the surface, i.e., N end down or end down [128]. Some of these experiments are described in Section 4.2. 

The reason behind this statement lies in the fact that separately measuring each standard deviation, (AA)2 and (AB)2, makes product, V((AA)2(AB)2) = AAAB this relationship can be experimentally tested. Thus, for the momentum-position operators, the quantum state prepared as a plane wave, that is, an eigenstate of the momentum operator, Ap = 0, so that Ar must be infinite in such a way that the product has a lower bound, namely, ft/2. Hereafter, we select the direction of the momentum along the x-axis to simplify the discussion. Including a screen perpendicular to x-direction, the possibility to define position and momentum of a system passing a slit located at the plane xs is limited by the screen observables uncertainties... 

The following selection of preparations is representative of the main types of procedure for preparing organomagnesium compounds by the reaction of magnesium with organic halides. Other well-described preparations are listed in Table 3.2. Yields are not listed in Table 3.2, since in many cases only the yields of subsequent reactions are recorded they are in general high unless otherwise stated.

Note added in proof It has come to our attention after this review was completed that the work by Holme and Hutchinson, (Ref. 28), accidentally neglected the time-dependent phase of the initial state prepared by the laser. This has been confirmed through private communication with the authors. As far as we know there is no physical justification for this neglect, which played a crucial role in the selectivity which they observed.
