Welcome to the Molecular Quantum Technology Lab!

We are building an experiment to trap charged molecules for many seconds to study fundamental physics and develop quantum technology

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.
  
  
• Cold quantum ion-neutral chemistry
  • Are inelastic processes dominated by tunneling resonances at low temperatures?
  • Unraveling the quantum nature of chemistry near absolute zero!
