Abstract

Electronic and nuclear molecular wavepackets are a clear manifestation of the wavelike properties of matter at the very heart of quantum mechanics. In this work we demonstrate how electronic two-dimensional spectroscopy (2D) serves as a highly evolved tool for the simultaneous investigation of both phenomena. In further analysis and theoretical treatments, 2D spectra form an ideal basis for the discussion of electronic decoherence, vibrational relaxation and electron-phonon coupling.
