• Abstract summary: We derive a pulse-area theorem for a cyclic three-level system driven by three linearly polarized microwave pulses. 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.

• Abstract: We derive a pulse-area theorem for a cyclic three-level system, an archetypal model for exploring enantioselective state transfer (ESST) in chiral molecules driven by three linearly polarized microwave pulses. By dividing the closed-loop excitation into two separate stages, we obtain both amplitude and phase conditions of three control fields to generate high fidelity of ESST. As a proof of principle, we apply this pulse-area theorem to the cyclohexylmethanol molecules ($\text{C}_{7}\text{H}_{14}\text{O}$), for which three rotational states are connected by the $a$-type, $b$-type, and $c$-type components of the transition dipole moments in both center-frequency resonant and detuned conditions. Our results show that two enantiomers with opposite handedness can be transferred to different target states by designing three microwave pulses that satisfy the amplitude and phase conditions at the transition frequencies. The corresponding control schemes are robust against the time delays between the two stages. We suggest that the two control fields used in the second stage should be applied simultaneously for practical applications. 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.

  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.

  The method is based on the three-state coincident pulses technique and the generalized five-state coincident pulses technique. For the three-state system, the technique can efficiently transfer the populations from the Feshbach state to the deeply-bound state via a train of $N$ pairs of resonant and coincident pump and Stokes pulses. For the five-state system, it is found that this M-type system can be generalized into a $Lambda$-type structure with the simplest resonant coupling.
