This talk will outline a simple but general analysis for multiple proton-electron transfer reactions, based on the microscopic theory of proton-coupled electron transfer reactions, recent developments in the thermodynamic theory of multi-step electron transfer reactions, and the experimental realization that many multiple proton-coupled electron transfer reactions feature decoupled proton-elect

Overview story on ASML and Research at ASML. As part of this story, selected technical Research topics will be addressed in more detail.

Strong coupling of light and matter can give rise to a multitude of exciting physical effects through the formation of delocalized hybrid light-matter states.

Strong coupling is achieved when the coherent energy exchange between a confined electromagnetic field mode (e.g., a cavity mode or a surface plasmon) and material excitations becomes faster than the decay and decoherence of either constituent. This creates a paradigmatic hybrid quantum system with eigenstates that have mixed light-matter character (polaritons).

The largest telescopes in the world provide spectacular images of a variety of astronomical phenomena. The sensitivity and resolution of these observations can only be achieved by means of very sophisticated scientific instruments behind these telescopes. Such instruments cannot be purchased "off the shelf".
