• Abstract: The interaction between vortex beam (VB) and molecule has drawn much attention in recent years, but the lack of theoretical method somehow limits its further analysis, especially when the molecular rotational degree of freedom is involved and coupled with the molecular electronic states. To incorporate the molecular rotation into the theoretical study, in this paper, we describe the diatomic molecular states in Hund's coupling basis and express interaction Hamiltonian in form of spherical harmonics expansion, and then investigate the rotational transition of molecular states driven by VB. The theory clearly illustrates that each photon of VB may carry a total angular momentum of 0, $\hbar$, or 2$\hbar$, and therefore could drive O, P, Q, R and S branches of diatomic molecular rotational transitions with some specific selection rules. These results indicate that VB could provide new methods for preparing and measuring the diatomic molecular states.

  We present a new model for generating a comprehensive representation of molecules, including atom features, 2D discrete molecule structures, and 3D continuous molecule coordinates.

Our model is a promising approach for designing stable and diverse molecules and can be applied to a wide range of tasks in molecular modeling.

Using time-dependent theory, we investigate the spectrum of the radiation emitted by the two-atom system. We show that it is modulated in time, and that the presence of the oscillating mirror can enhance or inhibit the decay rate.

We additionally observe an orientation-dependent Zeeman shift and reveal a significant influence on it caused by the hyperfine interaction of the macrodimer state.

• Photoassociation of ultracold long-range polyatomic molecules [0.0]
  We explore the feasibility of optically forming long-range tetratomic and larger polyatomic molecules in their ground electronic state from ultracold pairs of polar molecules aligned by external fields. We find that a tetratomic can be formed either as a weakly bound complex in a very extended halo state or as a pure long-range molecule composed of collinear or nearly-collinear diatomic molecules. The latter is a novel type of tetratomic molecule comprised of two diatomic molecules bound at long intermolecular range and predicted to be stable in cold and ultracold regimes.
