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!
