Single molecule superradiance for optical cycling

Claire E. Dickerson, Anastassia N. Alexandrova, Prineha Narang +1

Herein, we show that single molecules containing multiple optical cycling centers (CaO moieties) can exhibit superradiant phenomena. We demonstrate the accuracy of the Frenkel exci…

Probing the limits of optical cycling in a predissociative diatomic molecule

Qi Sun, Claire E. Dickerson, Jinyu Dai +6

Molecular predissociation is the spontaneous, nonradiative bond breaking process that can occur upon excitation. In the context of laser cooling, predissociation is an unwanted con…

Functionalizing Aromatic Compounds with Optical Cycling Centers

Guo-Zhu Zhu, Debayan Mitra, Benjamin L. Augenbraun +9

Molecular design principles provide guidelines for augmenting a molecule with a smaller group of atoms to realize a desired property or function. We demonstrate that these concepts…

Analog quantum simulation of chemical dynamics

Ryan J. MacDonell, Claire E. Dickerson, Clare J. T. Birch +5

Ultrafast chemical reactions are difficult to simulate because they involve entangled, many-body wavefunctions whose computational complexity grows rapidly with molecular size. In…

Franck-Condon tuning of optical cycling centers by organic functionalization

Claire E. Dickerson, Han Guo, Ashley J. Shin +4

Laser induced electronic excitations that spontaneously emit photons and decay directly to the initial ground state ("optical cycling transitions") are used in quantum information…
