Multidimensional quantum dynamics and infrared spectroscopy of hydrogen bonds

Hydrogen bonds are of outstanding importance for many processes in Chemistry, Biology, and Physics. From the theoretical perspective the small mass of the proton in a hydrogen bond makes it the primary quantum nucleus and the phenomena one expects to surface in a particular clear way are, for instance, zero-point energy effects, quantum tunneling, or coherent wave packet dynamics. While this is well established in the limit of one-dimensional motion, the details of the multidimensional aspects of the dynamics of hydrogen bonds are just becoming accessible to experiments and numerical simulations.
