Abstract

We investigate the dynamics of a rotating Morse wave packet, appropriate for a ro-vibrating diatomic molecule. The coupling between vibrational and rotational degrees of freedom is explicated in real position space as well as in phase space Wigner distribution of a SU(2) coherent state at various dynamically evolved times. We choose the well studied $I_{2}$ molecule with the parameter values in good agrement with experiments. A quantitative measure of the angles of rotations for different angular momenta is also given.

Revival And Collapse Of The Vibrational State Wave Packet For Diatomic Molecule In An Anharmonic Potential

This paper presents the time evolution of a quantum wave packet bound in the Morse potential. The quantum wave packet is the superposition of vibrational energy levels of a diatomic molecule in an anharmonic potential. The probability density function, auto-correlation function, and various time scales have been used to explore the revival pattern of this wave packet. The dynamics of the wave packet with respect to time shows a series of collapses and the subsequent revivals. The results are presented for CO molecule.

Enhanced quantum sensitivity in a vibrating diatomic molecule due to a rotational amendment

Suranjana Ghosh, Utpal Roy

Quantum sensitivity is an important issue in the field of quantum metrology where sub-Planck scale structures play a crucial role in the Heisenberg limited measurement. We investigate the mesoscopic superposition structures, particularly for well-known catlike and compasslike states, in the rotating Morse system where sub-Planck scale structures originate in the dynamics of a suitably constructed SU(2) coherent state. A detail study of the sensitivity analysis reveals that rotational coupling in the vibrational wave packet can be used as a probe to enhance the sensitivity limit in a diatomic molecule. The maximum sensitivity limit is identified with the rotational amendment, and a quantitative measure of the angle of rotation for different rotational levels is also given. The correspondence of the numerical result with the angle of rotation is also delineated in phase-space Wigner representation.

Mesoscopic superposition and sub-Planck-scale structure in molecular wave packets

Suranjana Ghosh, Aravind Chiruvelli, J. Banerji +1 more

We demonstrate the possibility of realizing sub-Planck-scale structures in the mesoscopic superposition of molecular wave packets involving vibrational levels. The time evolution of the wave packet, taken here as the SU(2) coherent state of the Morse potential describing hydrogen iodide molecules, produces macroscopic-quantum-superposition-like states, responsible for the above phenomenon. We investigate the phase-space dynamics of the coherent state through the Wigner function approach and identify the interference phenomena behind the sub-Planck-scale structures. The optimal parameter ranges are specified for observing these features.

Study of the Double Nonlinear Quantum Resonances in Diatomic Molecules

Gustavo V. López, J. G. T. Zanudo

We study the quantum dynamics of diatomic molecule driven by a circularly polarized resonant electric field. We look for a quantum effect due to classical chaos appearing due to the overlapping of nonlinear reso-nances associated to the vibrational and rotational motion. We solve the Schrödinger equation associated with the wave function expanded in term of proper stationary states, |n> |lm> (vibrational angular momentum states). Looking for quantum-classic correspondence, we consider the Liouville dynamics in the two dimensional phase space defined by the coherent-like state of vibrational states. We consider the rela-tionship between the overlapping of the classical resonances and the mixing of the quantum states, and it is found some similarities when the quantum dynamics is pictured in terms of number and phase operators.

Time-resolved luminescence from coherently excited molecules as a probe of molecular wave-packet dynamics

Pawel Kowalczyk, Czesław Radzewicz, Jan Mostowski +1 more

We calculate the time-dependent spectrum of spontaneously emitted light from a coherently excited diatomic molecule. We show that this spectrum provides a tool for direct observation of the atomic vibrations in the excited electronic state of the molecule, and that the finite time and frequency resolution inherent in any experiment does not destroy all information about the time-dependent shape of the molecular wave packet.

Rotationally induced collapse and revivals of molecular vibrational wavepackets: model for environment-induced decoherence

Sascha Wallentowitz, Ian A. Walmsley, Leon J. Waxer +1 more

We present an analytical calculation that predicts the collapse of vibrational wavepackets in molecules due to the coupling of the rotational and vibrational degrees of freedom. At longer times a new class of revivals is predicted in the vibrational degree of freedom, due to the finite size and discrete nature of the rotational reservoir. The interplay of these competing behaviours is studied in the context of current experiments, and conditions for observing the revivals are described. Furthermore, the conditions for which the molecular vibration and rotation can be regarded as a system and its reservoir-like environment are described, in which case the ro-vibrational coupling can be considered effectively as a mechanism for decoherence of the vibrational motion. Comparison of the dephasing time predicted by this model with that observed in recent experiments is made.
