Abstract
We explore the application of reduced density matrix-based approaches to molecules interacting with the lattice vibrations of metals, an interaction responsible for the temperature dependence of many of the fundamental steps of catalysis. We avoid the use of simple models for the bath and instead use density functional theory to compute all molecule-phonon interactions and the properties of the lattice phonons, for methane scattering from Ir(111). We find that while the large metal mass leads to long bath correlation times, these are not significantly longer than the time over which the reduced density matrix changes due to interactions with the bath. We show that the neglect of memory is reasonable and the use of the Redfield equation is justified. We also show how the commonly used rotating wave approximation is far too severe for this scattering problem. A less restrictive approximation that is nearly exact for our system gives an equation of motion in the Lindblad form. As a result, the Monte Carlo wave packet methods can be used to describe gas-phonon scattering, guaranteeing positivity, and with all couplings derived from first-principles.

Abstract
In this work, we generalize the quantum optimal control theory (QOCT) of molecules subject to ultrashort laser pulses to the case of solvated systems, explicitly including the solvent dielectric properties in the system's quantum Hamiltonian. A reliable description of the solvent polarization is accounted for within the polarizable continuum model (PCM). The electron dynamics for the molecules in solution is coupled with the dynamics of the surrounding polarizable environment, which affects the features of the optimized laser pulse. To illustrate such effects, numerical applications of the developed method to the study of optimal population of selected excited states of two molecular solvated systems are presented and discussed.

Abstract
In this work, we present theoretical simulations of laser-driven vibrational control of NO adsorbed on a gold surface. Our goal is to tailor laser pulses to selectively excite specific modes and vibrational eigenstates, as well as to favor photodesorption of the adsorbed molecule. To this end, various control schemes and algorithms are applied. For adsorbates at metallic surfaces, the creation of electron-hole pairs in the substrate is known to play a dominant role in the transfer of energy from the system to the surroundings. These nonadiabatic couplings are included perturbatively in our reduced density matrix simulations using a generalization of the state-resolved position-dependent anharmonic rate model we recently introduced. An extension of the reduced density matrix is also proposed to provide a sound model for photodesorption in dissipative systems.

Abstract
We develop monotonically convergent free-time and fixed end-point optimal control theory (OCT) in the density-matrix representation to deal with quantum systems showing dissipation. Our theory is more general and flexible for tailoring optimal laser pulses in order to control quantum dynamics with dissipation than the conventional fixed-time and fixed end-point OCT in that the optimal temporal duration of laser pulses can also be optimized exactly. To show the usefulness of our theory, it is applied to the generation and maintenance of the vibrational entanglement of carbon monoxide adsorbed on the copper (100) surface, CO/Cu(100). We demonstrate the numerical results and clarify how to combat vibrational decoherence as much as possible by the tailored shapes of the optimal laser pulses. It is expected that our theory will be general enough to be applied to a variety of dissipative quantum dynamics systems because the decoherence is one of the quantum phenomena sensitive to the temporal duration of the quantum dynamics.

Abstract
We present a set of experiments that provide a complete mapping of coherent and incoherent vibrational relaxation times for a molecule on a metal surface, CO/Ir{111}. Included is the first detection of a midinfrared photon echo from a metallic surface, some 15 years after the analogous measurement on a semiconductor surface, which sets a precedent for the ability to manipulate and rephase polarization on a subpicosecond time scale on surfaces. For the C-O stretch in a strongly dipole-coupled CO layer we obtain a total linewidth of 5.6 cm-1, composed of a homogeneous width of 2.7 cm-1 and an inhomogeneous contribution of 3.0 cm-1. Pure dephasing is negligible at liquid nitrogen temperatures, making CO/Ir{111} an attractive model system for quantum computing.
