Nature is dynamic. There is great need for a microscopic understanding of the ultrafast molecular processes which underpin our world. This program builds on the ongoing technological revolution in Ultrafast Photonics. Our methods probe the most general processes: the ultrafast flow of charge and energy in molecules. This physics governs important processes such as Vision and Photosynthesis. Novel instruments allow us to measure these processes from the molecules perspective. We apply precise laser electric fields to molecules and materials, optically controlling quantum processes. Finally, ultrafast lasers permit real-time, label-free molecular imaging of live cells and tissues, organic and geologic materials.

大自然是动态的。我们非常需要对支撑我们世界的超快分子过程进行微观理解。该计划建立在超快光子学正在进行的技术革命的基础上。我们的方法探索最一般的过程：分子中电荷和能量的超快流动。这一物理过程控制着视觉和光合作用等重要过程。新颖的仪器使我们能够从分子的角度来测量这些过程。我们将精确的激光电场应用于分子和材料，以光学方式控制量子过程。最后，超快激光可以对活细胞和组织、有机和地质材料进行实时、无标记的分子成像。
