This book delves into the latest theoretical studies, offering fresh predictions and interpretations on the quantum correlation in molecular dynamics induced by ultrashort laser pulses. The author employs quantum information science methods, particularly tailored for the photoionization of a hydrogen molecule, to quantify the extent of correlation in terms of entanglement. Furthermore, it is unveiled that the photoelectron-ion correlation impacts the vibrational dynamics of the molecular ion, leading to an attosecond-level time delay in its vibration. Additionally, the book explores how molecular vibration can couple to photons within a plasmoic nanocavity. Those with a keen interest in the realm of ultrafast molecular dynamics, including physicists and chemists, will find this resource invaluable. It provides insights into how quantum-information-science tools can be employed to comprehend the correlation in molecular dynamics and why considering the correlation between the photoelectron and the molecular ion is crucial for describing ion dynamics. Moreover, it sheds light on the treatment of molecules coupled to photons within nanocavities, a topic of significant relevance in contemporary research. Given the close connection to state-of-the-art experiments, the publication of these findings is essential to enhance understanding and inspire new experiments to validate the theoretical framework presented.
