COMPUTATION IN SCIENCE OF ATTOSECONDS AND MATERIALS: FACING THE NEW CHALLENGES OF CURRENT PHYSICS AND CHEMISTRY

Operation co-funded by EU cohesion policy (European Regional Development Fund (ERDF)) under the programme Multi-regional Spain - ERDF (2014ES16RFOP002), managing authority: Subdirección General de Gestión del FEDER, de la Dirección General de Fondos Europeos del Ministerio de Hacienda.. The source names no beneficiary for this operation. Location: Spain. Budget: total eligible expenditure EUR 232,804; EU co-financing EUR 116,402 (co-financing rate 50%), as stated by the source. Runs 2016-12-30 to 2020-12-31. Source: Kohesio, EU cohesion policy projects managed by national and regional authorities (not CORDIS); selected because its summary names quantum technology. Summary from Kohesio (English machine translation by the source): DYNAMIC PROCESSES THAT OCCUR IN MOLECULES OCCUR ON A TEMPORAL SCALE RANGING FROM PICOSECONDS TO FEMTOSECONDS WHEN CONSIDERED STRUCTURAL CHANGES, GOING DOWN TO ATTOSECONDS WHEN IT COMES TO ELECTRON MOTION. BOTH ELECTRONIC AND NUCLEAR DYNAMICS PLAY A VERY IMPORTANT ROLE IN BOND FORMATION AND BREAKAGE, WHICH DETERMINES CHEMICAL REACTIVITY. THEREFORE, BY ACTING ON THIS ULTRARRAPID TIMESCALE, FOR EXAMPLE, USING ATTOSECOND LIGHT PULSES, THE LOAD DISTRIBUTION COULD BE MANIPULATED AND CONSEQUENTLY INDUCED THE RUPTURE OF LINKS AT DIFFERENT SITES OF THE MOLECULA. DESPITE ENORMOUS EXPERIMENTAL ADVANCES IN VISUALISING GASEOUS LOAD MIGRATIONS USING ATTOSECOND PULSES, THE INTERPRETATION OF MEASUREMENTS AND THE DESIGN OF CHEMICAL CONTROL STRATEGIES ARE SEVERELY LIMITED AS A RESULT OF THE LARGE NUMBER OF DEGREES OF ELECTRONIC AND NUCLEAR FREEDOM INVOLVED IN THESE PROCESSES. IN THIS SENSE, THE IMPLEMENTATION IN SUPERCOMPUTERS OF TIME-DEPENDENT THEORIC METHODS, SUCH AS THE ONE THAT OUR GROUP HAS CARRIED OUT IN THE LAST YEARS, HAS ALLOWED TO GUIDE EXPERIMENTAL RESEARCH IN THIS FIELD SINCE ITS BIRTH AT THE BEGINNING OF THIS DECADE. THE MAIN DIFFICULTY IS TO DESCRIBE THE CORRELATION BETWEEN ELECTRONIC AND NUCLEAR MOVEMENTS WHEN ONE OR MORE ELECTRONS ARE IONISED AND THE REMAINING MOLECULAR ION DISSOCIATES. THE SOLUTION IS OUTSIDE THE TRADITIONAL SCOPE OF QUANTUM CHEMISTRY. THEREFORE, THE EXTENSION TO CHEMICAL INTEREST SYSTEMS, THE CURRENT BOTTLENECK IN THIS FIELD, REQUIRES EXTENSIVE AND NOVEL THEORETICAL DEVELOPMENTS IN PARALLEL WITH THE EXPERIMENTS. Thus, the first GENERAL OBJECTIVE OF THIS PROJECT IS THE STUDY OF THE ELECTRONIC DINAMIC AND NUCLEARY IN THE SCHOOL OF ATTOseconds AND SUB-FEMTO-seconds IN PRODUCTION OF MEDIOMENTAL AND BIOLOGICAL INTERESTS, MEANING THE DEVELOPMENT OF NEW COMPUTATIONAL TOOLS OF THE TIME AND NEW agrees that allow the use of UV light sources for the visualisation and control of the electrical and nuclear DINAMIC to be used for the visualisation and control of [shortened; the full text is on the Kohesio page]
