Enhancing reactivity of SiO ions by controlled excitation to extreme rotational states
Sruthi Venkataramanababu, Anyang Li, Ivan Antonov +4
Optical pumping of molecules provides unique opportunities for control of chemical reactions at a wide range of rotational energies. This work reports a chemical reaction with extr…
Precisely Spun Super Rotors
Ivan O. Antonov, Patrick R. Stollenwerk, Sruthi Venkataramanababu +3
Improved optical control of molecular quantum states promises new applications including chemistry in the quantum regime, precision tests of fundamental physics, and quantum inform…
Cooling of a Zero-Nuclear-Spin Molecular Ion to a Selected Rotational State
Patrick R. Stollenwerk, Ivan O. Antonov, Sruthi Venkataramanababu +2
We demonstrate rotational cooling of the silicon monoxide cation via optical pumping by a spectrally filtered broadband laser. Compared with diatomic hydrides, SiO\+ is more challe…
