Welcome to the Averbukh group website! We are a theory group working on problems in the general area of light-matter interactions. Here is a list of some of our research interests:
- Quantum wave packets
- Ultra-fast light-matter interactions, atoms, and molecules in strong laser fields
- Laser-induced molecular alignment and orientation
- Laser control of molecular scattering
- Anderson localization in molecular rotation
- Laser cooling
- Quantum Optics
- Applied optics (atom lithography, near field optics, laser ablation)
