Emergent Cryogenic Chemistry: Molecules, Correlated Clusters and Reactions

Abstract

This work aims at discovering and identifying the physical and chemical principles underlying the behavior of matter under ultracryogenic conditions. Formation of novel molecular aggregates in the deep quantum regime brought about by the quantum nature of matter at these reduced temperatures will be explored. One goal is to develop new accurate and efficient quantum-chemical computational methodologies for prediction and understanding the properties and reaction processes of strongly correlated atomic and molecular quantum systems that can enable the creation of ultracold synthetic chemistry utilizing ultracold particle trapping. Applications to future quantum simulators of highly correlated chemical phenomena will also be pursued.
