{"product_id":"quantum-effects-in-complex-systems","title":"Quantum Effects in Complex Systems","description":"\u003cp\u003eNuclear quantum effects such as zero-point energy conservation, tunnelling, non-adiabaticity and coherence play an important role in many complex chemical systems of technological and biological importance. Zero-point energy differences are key to understanding the experimentally-observed differences in the thermodynamic properties of normal and heavy water, while both theoretical and experimental work has highlighted the role of quantum tunnelling in enzyme-catalysed hydrogen transfer reactions. Photochemical reactions, involving multiple potential energy surfaces, are implicitly quantum-mechanical in nature, while recent spectroscopic investigations are providing new insight into the role of quantum coherence in the efficient energy transfer processes observed in photosynthetic centres. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis volume brings together computational and experimental researchers who are interested in developing and applying methods to use in understanding the role of quantum effects in complex systems.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe topics covered in this volume include:\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eQuantum coherence in complex environments\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSpectroscopic signatures of quantum effects\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eZero-point energy and tunnelling\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eEmerging opportunities and future directions\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"Royal Society of Chemistry","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":54230552838488,"sku":"9781788016780","price":210.8,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0278\/1295\/4195\/files\/9781788016780.jpg?v=1764488737","url":"https:\/\/agendabookshop.com\/products\/quantum-effects-in-complex-systems","provider":"Agenda Bookshop","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
