Unveiling the quantum dance: Experiments reveal nexus of vibrational and electronic dynamics7/19/2023 "Nearly a century ago, physicists Max Born and J. Robert Oppenheimer developed an assumption regarding how quantum mechanics plays out in molecules, which are comprised of intricate systems of nuclei and electrons. The Born-Oppenheimer approximation assumes that the motion of nuclei and electrons in a molecule are independent of each other and can be treated separately." ...
...""Our work reveals the interplay between the dynamics of electron spin and the vibrational dynamics of the nuclei in molecules on superfast time scales," said Shahnawaz Rafiq, a research associate at Northwestern University and first author on the Nature paper. "These properties can't be treated independently—they mix together and affect electronic dynamics in complex ways.""...
