The optical spectra of post-starburst quasars (PSQ) show simultaneous evidence of a quasar and a massive, moderately-aged starburst. Our HST images show that interactions and merger activities are common in these systems. This also implies strong star formation activities, which are confirmed by Spitzer mid-IR spectroscopy. We are investigating the hypothesis that post-starburst quasars represent a short evolutionary stage in the life of quasars/galaxies. They are possibly the missing link between ULIRGs and quasars.
