Time-dependent Behavior of Molecular Transport

Single molecule electron transport has become a very large part of molecular study. In this talk, I will provide a time-dependent description of molecular transport. Almost all of the work in this area is based on energy dependence. The difference between energy and time dependence is striking. The behavior in the first 50 femtoseconds is striking–there are several time-dependent behaviors that I wouldn’t have imagined, especially those related to time-dependent quantum interference. The talk will describe how to control interference utilizing so-called Butikker probes, and how to understand the dynamics of interference in molecular transport. We will describe a wide set of molecular structures, and their interactions and correlations.
