Abstract
Laser control of chemical reactions is a challenging field of research. In particular, the theoretical description of coupled electronic and nuclear motion in the presence of laser fields is not a trivial task and simulations are mostly restricted to small systems or molecules treated within reduced dimensionality. Here, we demonstrate how the excited state dynamics of [Ru(S-Sbpy)(bpy)2]2+ can be controlled using explicit laser fields in the context of fewest-switches surface hopping. In particular, the transient properties along the excited state dynamics leading to population of the T1 minimum energy structure are exploited to define simple laser fields capable of slowing and even completely stopping the onset of S-S bond dissociation. The use of a linear vibronic coupling model to parametrize the potential energy surfaces showcases the strength of the surface-hopping methodology to study systems including explicit laser fields using many nuclear degrees of freedom and a large amount of close-lying electronic excited states.

Abstract
We investigate the validity of the classical approximation to the numerically exact quantum dynamics for infrared laser-driven control of isomerization processes. To this end, we simulate the fully quantum mechanical dynamics both by wavepacket propagation in position space and by propagating the Wigner function in phase space employing a quantum-mechanical correction term. A systematic comparison is made with purely classical propagation of the Wigner function. On the example of a one-dimensional double well potential, we identify two complementary classes of pulse sequences that invoke either a quantum mechanically or a classically dominated control mechanism. The quantum control relies on a sequence of excitations and de-excitations between the system's eigenstates on a time scale far exceeding the characteristic vibrational oscillation periods. In contrast, the classical control mechanism is based on a short and strong few-cycle field exerting classical-like forces driving the wavepacket to the target potential well where it is slowed down and finally trapped. While in the first case, only the quantum mechanical propagation correctly describes the field-induced population transfer, the short pulse case is also amenable to a purely classical description. These findings shed light on the applicability of classical approximations to simulate laser-controlled dynamics and may offer a guideline for novel control experiments in more complex systems that can be analyzed and interpreted utilizing efficient state-of-the-art classical trajectory simulations based on ab initio molecular dynamics.

Abstract
We implemented a method for the treatment of field induced transitions in trajectory surface hopping simulations, in the framework of the local diabatization scheme, especially suited for on-the-fly dynamics. The method is applied to a simple one-dimensional model with an avoided crossing and compared with quantum wavepacket dynamics. The results show the importance of introducing a proper decoherence correction to surface hopping, in order to obtain meaningful results. Also the energy conservation policy of standard surface hopping must be revised: in fact, the quantum wavepacket energetics is well reproduced if energy absorption/emission is allowed for in the hops determined by radiation-molecule coupling. To our knowledge, this is the first time the issues of decoherence and energy conservation have been analyzed in depth to devise a mixed quantum-classical method for dynamics with molecule-field interactions.

Abstract
The direct manipulation of charge oscillations has emerged as a new perspective in chemical reaction control. Here, we demonstrate, in a joint experimental and theoretical study, that the electron dynamics of a molecule is efficiently steered by controlling the interplay of a driving femtosecond laser pulse with the photoinduced charge oscillation. These oscillations have a typical Bohr period of around 1 fs for valence electrons; therefore, control has to be exerted on a shorter time scale. Specifically, we show how precision pulse shaping is used to manipulate the coupled electron and nuclear dynamics in order to address different bound electronic target states in a molecule. We present a strong-field coherent control mechanism which is understood in terms of a simple classical picture and at the same time verified by solving the time-dependent Schrödinger equation. This mechanism is universally applicable and opens a wide spectrum of applications in the reaction control of complex systems.
