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 \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 \u003cp\u003eThe topics covered in this volume include: \u003c\/p\u003e \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":"Atlantic Books","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":46456154423447,"sku":"9781788016780","price":22708.0,"currency_code":"INR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0666\/3471\/1191\/files\/9781788016780.webp?v=1769177761","url":"https:\/\/atlanticbooks.com\/products\/quantum-effects-in-complex-systems-faraday-discussion-221-9781788016780","provider":"Atlantic Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
