Dissertations (1934 -)

This thesis presents developments and applications of the mixed quantum/classical theory (MQCT) for inelastic scattering. In this approach, translational motion of collision partners is treated classically, while the internal degrees of freedom – rotational and/or vibrational motion – are treated quantum mechanically. Within this framework calculations of rotationally inelastic cross sections are carried out in a broad range of collision energies and results are compared against the exact full quantum data for several real systems. For CO +He, N2 + Na and H2 + He the agreement is excellent through six orders of magnitude range of cross sections values and …


With Vibrationally Excited Thiophosgene Molecule And Double-Well Ion Traps, Dmytro Shyshlov Oct 2015

With Vibrationally Excited Thiophosgene Molecule And Double-Well Ion Traps, Dmytro Shyshlov

Dissertations (1934 -)

For practical realization of quantum information processing we need a quantum system that provides reliable preparation of the initial state, high-fidelity quantum gate operations, error tolerance, readout of the result of quantum computation and scalability of the system to increase the number of qubits. In this dissertation we show how these requirements can be addressed for molecular quantum computer. For computational study of quantum information processing with molecules we employ thiophosgene (SCCl2) molecule that has been used as a test system for quantum control experiments [Mol. Phys. 105, 1999 (2007)]. We investigate the gateway scheme of control in which transitions …
