The Larsson Quantum Lab

We develop and utilize tools for simulating and understanding quantum effects in molecular systems.

Our research interests

Our research focuses on developing and utilizing tools for simulating and understanding quantum effects in molecular systems. We are interested in both structural and dynamical properties of molecules. Our recent applications range from understanding entangled vibrational motion in floppy, protonated water clusters and using strong laser fields to control the motion of electrons to predicting complex bonding situations in strongly correlated transition-metal clusters.
