His seminal contributions to the field of multidimensional spectroscopy and beyond include the experimental and theoretical development of femtosecond 2D Fourier transform spectroscopy, the use of polarization anisotropy to track quantum non-adiabatic dynamics, the discovery of nested non-adiabatic energy funnels in photosynthesis and advancing 2D spectroscopy as a quantitative tool to measure thermodynamic chemical potentials.
Femtosecond multidimensional spectroscopy has revolutionized our understanding of ultrafast phenomena at the interface of physics, chemistry, and biology, such as natural photosynthesis, photocatalysis, photovoltaics, and layered quantum materials. David's contributions have impacted not only the development of multidimensional spectroscopy methods but have also broadly impacted the conceptual frameworks behind ultrafast electronic and vibrational dynamics.
The Special Topic will be published to honor David Jonas and highlight the latest developments and applications in the multidimensional and ultrafast spectroscopies across disciplines. The issue will be broad in scope and cover experimental advances in nonlinear and multidimensional spectroscopies, theoretical developments in quantum dynamics and computational spectroscopy, and emerging areas such as quantum-enhanced spectroscopy. The issue will highlight the applications of these developments to complex systems spanning molecules, proteins, nanocrystals, and emerging systems such as quantum materials and optical cavities with hybrid light-matter states.
