Phys. Rev. Lett. 89, 143201 (2002) [4 pages]Coherent Control in the Presence of Intrinsic Decoherence: Proton Transfer in Large Molecular SystemsSee Also: Erratum Received 17 March 2002; published 17 September 2002 An efficient semiclassical approach is developed and used to calculate the coherent-control map and time dependent decoherence measure for the excited-state proton transfer dynamics associated with the keto-enolic tautomerization reaction of 2-(2′-hydroxyphenyl)-oxazole. The method extends the usual bichromatic coherent-control scenario to simulate control at finite times after photoexcitation of the system. Extensive coherent control is demonstrated in a large molecule despite the ultrafast decoherence phenomena, providing results of broad theoretical and experimental interest. © 2002 The American Physical Society URL:
