MURI: Optimal Quantum Dynamic Discrimination of Chemical and Biological Agents
Abstract
The focus of this research was on introducing advanced concepts from laser technology, controlled quantum dynamics and specialize software to address the problem of detecting chemical and biological agents. This research was initiated at the time when the confluence of these techniques and concepts was beginning to see success in various laboratories. The research performed during the MURI involved a number of interrelated activities concerning optical detection and mass spectrometry with shaped laser pulses acting as a special family of tailored "photonic reagents". The research ranged from basic theoretical developments in the subject of controlling quantum phenomena out through enhancement of the associated laser technology and a variety of key experiments demonstrating the concepts.
