• Abstract: We present a combined analytical and numerical investigation to show how an optimal control field can be designed to generate maximum field-free orientation of molecules for three populated rotational states. Based on a model involving pure rotational ladder-climbing excitation between rotational states, a set of optimal amplitude and phase conditions are analytically derived for the applied control fields. The maximum degree of orientation can be achieved when the field satisfies amplitude and phase conditions at the two transition frequencies. Multiple optimal solutions exist and to examine these conditions, we devise a quantum coherent control scheme using two terahertz pulses and successfully apply it to the linear polar molecule HCN at ultracold temperature. The sensitivity of both populations and phases of rotational states to control field parameters, i.e., the detuning, bandwidth, and time delay, is analyzed for understanding the optimal orientation mechanism. This work thus examines the frequency domain landscape belonging to optimal pulses.

  We theoretically explore the precise control of a molecular polariton by strongly coupling the lowest three rotational states of a single molecule with a single-mode cavity. We propose two control schemes based on the two polariton configurations and derive the corresponding pulse-area theorems. This work provides a valuable reference for achieving maximum field-free orientation of ultracold three-state molecules in a cavity.

We show that two enantiomers with opposite handedness can be transferred to different target states by designing three microwave pulses. This work contributes an alternative pulse-area theorem to the field of quantum control, which has the potential to determine the chirality of enantiomers in a mixture.

  Defects in solid state materials provide an ideal platform for quantum sensing. Control of such an ensemble is challenging due to the spatial variation in both the defect energy levels and in any control field across a macroscopic sample. We experimentally demonstrate that we can overcome these challenges using Floquet theory and optimal control optimization methods.
