Floquet Engineering of a Diatomic Molecule Through a Bichromatic Radiation Field
arXiv:2311.13697 · doi:10.1021/acs.jctc.3c01277
Abstract
We report on a theoretical study of a Cs molecule illuminated by two lasers and show how it can result in novel quantum dynamics. We reveal that these interactions facilitate the bypass of the non-crossing rule, forming Light-Induced Conical Intersections and modifiable avoided crossings. Our findings show how laser field orientation and strength, along with initial phase differences, can control molecular state transitions, especially on the micromotion scale. We also discuss extensively how the interaction of radiation with matter gives rise to the emergence of potential energy surfaces of hybrids of radiation and molecular states. This research advances a technique for manipulating photoassociation processes in Cs molecules, offering potential new avenues in quantum control.
