Title:
Quantum coherence probes of electronic dynamics
Agreement Number:
988018
Agreement Value:
$674,367.00
Agreement Date:
Mar 15, 2022 - Sep 14, 2026
Description:
The Project will include the development of novel quantum imaging technologies (both experimental and computational) to study fundamental aspects of coherent electron transfer dynamics in molecules. The Project will make use of a revolution in ultrafast laser technology – Ultrafast X-ray Photonics – combined with computational quantum dynamics to permit the direct observation and characterization of quantum electronic dynamics. Canada is a world leader in Ultrafast X-ray Photonics and the CFI has invested nearly $25M in ultrafast X-ray science infrastructure at the INRS Varennes and the University of Ottawa, the latter housing the highest power ultrafast laser system in Canada. The understanding of light-driven coherent electronic dynamics in molecules underpins new rational design principles based on Quantum Coherence, which will be developed in the Project, leading to next-generation Light Harvesting. These principles will provide new routes, based on Quantum Physics, to enhancing the efficiency of Light Harvesting processes, including solar energy conversion, a critical green technology.
