Tunnel ionization of room-temperature D$_2$ in an ultrashort (12 femtosecond) near infra-red (800 nm) pump laser pulse excites a vibrational wavepacket in the D2+ ions; a rotational wavepacket is also excited in residual D2 molecules. Both wavepacket types are collapsed a variable time later by an ultrashort probe pulse. We isolate the vibrational wavepacket and quantify its evolution dynamics through theoretical comparison. Requirements for quantum computation (initial coherence and quantum state retrieval) are studied using this well-defined (small number of initial states at room temperature, initial wavepacket spatially localized) single-electron molecular prototype by temporally stretching the pump and probe pulses.

We show how to emulate a conventional pump-probe scheme using a single frequency-chirped ultrashort UV pulse to obtain a time-resolved image of molecular ultrafast dynamics. The chirp introduces a spectral phase in time that encodes the delay between
the pump and the probe frequencies contained in the pulse. By comparing the results of full dimensional ab initio calculations for the H$^+_2$ molecule with those of a simple sequential model, we demonstrate that, by tuning the chirp parameter, two-photon energy-differential ionization probabilities directly map the wave packet dynamics generated in the molecule. As a result, one can also achieve a significant amount of control of the total ionization yields, with a possible enhancement by more than an order of magnitude.
The application of a matrix-based reconstruction protocol for obtaining Molecular Frame (MF) photoelectron angular distributions (MFPADs) from laboratory frame (LF) measurements (LFPADs) is explored. Similarly to other recent works on the topic of MF
reconstruction, this protocol makes use of time-resolved LF measurements, in which a rotational wavepacket is prepared and probed via photoionization, followed by a numerical reconstruction routine; however, in contrast to other methodologies, the protocol developed herein does not require determination of photoionization matrix elements, and consequently takes a relatively simple numerical form (matrix transform making use of the Moore-Penrose inverse). Significantly, the simplicity allows application of the method to the successful reconstruction of MFPADs for polyatomic molecules. The scheme is demonstrated numerically for two realistic cases, $N_2$ and $C_2H_4$. The new technique is expected to be generally applicable for a range of MF reconstruction problems involving photoionization of polyatomic molecules.
Disentangling the dynamics of electrons and nuclei during nonadiabatic molecular transformations remains a considerable experimental challenge. Here we have investigated photoinduced electron transfer dynamics following a metal-to-ligand charge-trans
fer (MLCT) excitation of the [Fe(bmip)2]2+ photosensitizer, where bmip = 2,6-bis(3-methyl-imidazole-1- ylidine)-pyridine, with simultaneous femtosecond-resolution Fe K{alpha} and Kb{eta} X-ray Emission Spectroscopy (XES) and Wide Angle X-ray Scattering (WAXS). This measurement clearly shows temporal oscillations in the XES and WAXS difference signals with the same 278 fs period oscillation. The oscillatory signal originates from an Fe-ligand stretching mode vibrational wavepacket on a triplet metal-centered (3MC) excited state surface. The vibrational wavepacket is created by 40% of the excited population that undergoes electron transfer from the non-equilibrium MLCT excited state to the 3MC excited state with a 110 fs time constant, while the other 60% relaxes to a 3MLCT excited state in parallel. The sensitivity of the K{alpha} XES spectrum to molecular structure results from core-level vibronic coupling, due to a 0.7% average Fe-ligand bond length difference in the lowest energy geometry of the 1s and 2p core-ionized states. These results highlight the importance of vibronic effects in time-resolved XES experiments and demonstrate the role of metal-centered excited states in the electronic excited state relaxation dynamics of an Fe carbene photosensitizer.
High-order harmonic generation in polyatomic molecules generally involves multiple channels, each associated with a different orbital. Their unambiguous assignment remains a major challenge for high-harmonic spectroscopy. Here we present a multi-moda
l approach, using unaligned SF$_6$ molecules as an example, where we combine methods from extreme-ultraviolet spectroscopy, above-threshold ionization and attosecond metrology. Channel-resolved above-threshold ionization measurements reveal that strong-field ionization opens four channels. Two of them, identified by monitoring the ellipticity dependence of the high-harmonic emission, are found to dominate the harmonic signal. A switch from the HOMO-3 to the HOMO-1 channel at 26 eV is confirmed by a phase jump in the harmonic emission, and by the differing dynamical responses to molecular vibrations. This study demonstrates a modus operandi for extending high-harmonic spectroscopy to polyatomic molecules, where complex attosecond dynamics are expected.
Rovibrational quantum states in the $X^1Sigma_g^+$ electronic ground state of H$_2$ are prepared in the $v=13$ vibrational level up to its highest bound rotational level $J=7$, and in the highest bound vibrational level $v=14$ (for $J=1$) by two-phot
on photolysis of H$_2$S. These states are laser-excited in a subsequent two-photon scheme into $F^1Sigma_g^+$ outer well states, where the assignment of the highest ($v,J$) states is derived from a comparison of experimentally known levels in F, combined with emph{ab initio} calculations of X levels. The assignments are further verified by excitation of $F^1Sigma_g^+$ population into autoionizing continuum resonances which are compared with multi-channel quantum defect calculations. Precision spectroscopic measurements of the $F-X$ intervals form a test for the emph{ab initio} calculations of ground state levels at high vibrational quantum numbers and large internuclear separations, for which agreement is found.
