Chiral rotational dynamics in the molecular frame: Breaking symmetry with angular momentum
Alexander Blech, Monika Leibscher, Christiane P. Koch
Achiral molecules can be prepared in superposition states that are chiral. Here, we propose angular momentum orientation in the molecular frame to achieve the required symmetry bre…
Sympathetic rotational cooling of large trapped molecular ions
Monika Leibscher, Alexander Blech, Christiane P. Koch
We suggest a protocol for the sympathetic cooling of a molecular asymmetric top rotor co-trapped with laser-cooled atomic ions, based on resonant coupling between the molecular ion…
Enhancing the controllability of quantum systems via a static field
Ruikang Liang, Eugenio Pozzoli, Monika Leibscher +3
We provide a sufficient condition for the controllability of a bilinear closed quantum system steered by a static field and a time-varying field, based on the notion of weakly coni…
A linear rotor trapped and coupled to the vibrational modes of an ion crystal
Monika Leibscher, Juan M. Garcia-Garrido, Konstantin Gaul +3
When molecular ions are trapped together with atomic ions in a Paul trap, their dipole moment couples the molecular rotation to the joint vibrational motion of the particles in the…
Quantum control of ro-vibrational dynamics and application to light-induced molecular chirality
Monika Leibscher, Eugenio Pozzoli, Alexander Blech +3
Achiral molecules can be made temporarily chiral by excitation with electric fields, in the sense that an average over molecular orientations displays a net chiral signal [Tikhonov…
Lie algebra for rotational subsystems of a driven asymmetric top
Eugenio Pozzoli, Monika Leibscher, Mario Sigalotti +2
We present an analytical approach to construct the Lie algebra of finite-dimensional subsystems of the driven asymmetric top rotor. Each rotational level is degenerate due to the i…
Controlling the transport of an ion: Classical and quantum mechanical solutions
H. A. Fürst, M. H. Goerz, U. G. Poschinger +6
We investigate the performance of different control techniques for ion transport in state-of-the-art segmented miniaturized ion traps. We employ numerical optimization of classical…
