New publication on quantum pendulum in the Physical Review A
30 May, 2014
Our work on the pendular wave packet dynamics of state selected OCS, entitled “Strongly driven quantum pendulum of the OCS molecule”, has been published in Physical Review A 89, 051401(R) (2014) and has been selected as Editors' Suggestion. We present a combined experimental and theoretical study of molecular alignment in the intermediate pulse-duration regime including a comparison to experiments in the impulsive and adiabatic limits. A molecular movie illustrates this motion.
