Quantum control can be achieved in many atomic and chemical settings, for example to enhance product or byproduct branching ratios, direct photocurrents or photoionization channels and enhance mechanisms in photocatalysis.
The downscaling of magnetic memory units and operational devices will soon call for functional structures with atomic precision of their architecture. But the behavior of the magnetic moments of impurities adsorbed on a metal surface is strongly influenced by the electronic properties of the contacting lead.
