Welcome to the Molecular Quantum Technology Lab!

Trapped molecules will help tackle these topics:

• Measuring parity violation in chiral molecules
  Are chiral molecules in quantum eigenstates? \(|L\rangle, |R\rangle\). Or are the true eigenstates superpositions of \(|L\rangle+|R\rangle\). Can we see tunneling between the left and right hands for long-lived chiral molecules? Can we transform left to right by quantum interference?
  Why are amino acids in biological organisms left-handed? In an alternate world, could all DNA molecules have evolved with mirror image symmetry?
  We are developing quantum tools for detection of molecular chirality.
