Pathway Towards Optical Cycling and Laser Cooling of Functionalized Arenes
Debayan Mitra, Zack D. Lasner, Guo-Zhu Zhu +8
Rapid and repeated photon cycling has enabled precision metrology and the development of quantum information systems using a variety of atoms and simple molecules. Extending optica…

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…
