Controlling the rotational quantum states of chiral molecules — •Elahe Abdiha, JuHyeon Lee, Shilpa Yadav, Sejun An, Boris G Sartakov, Gerard Meijer, and Sandra Eibenberger-Arias — Fritz-Haber-Institut der Max-Planck-Gesellschaft; Berlin, 14195, Germany

We present recent experimental advances targeted at full enantiomer-specific control of the quantum states of chiral molecules using enantiomer-specific state transfer (ESST). In theory, ESST can reach 100We will also present our ongoing efforts to address the intrinsic limitation of ESST due to orientational degeneracy of the rotational states by incorporating theoretically tailored pulse schemes [4].
