• Abstract: A novel optical method for distinguishing chiral molecules is proposed and validated within a quantum simulator employing a trapped-ion qudit. This approach correlates the sign disparity of the dipole moment of chiral molecules with distinct cyclic evolution trajectories, yielding the unity population contrast induced by the different non-Abelian holonomies corresponding to the chirality. Harnessing the principles of holonomic quantum computation (HQC), our method achieves highly efficient, non-adiabatic, and robust detection and separation of chiral molecules. Demonstrated in a trapped ion quantum simulator, this scheme achieves nearly 100% contrast between the two enantiomers in the population of a specific state, showcasing its resilience to the noise inherent in the driving field.

  We present a combined analytical and numerical study for coherent terahertz control of a single molecular polariton. The presence of a cavity strongly modifies the post-pulse orientation of the polariton, making it difficult to obtain its maximal degree of orientation. This work offers a new strategy to study rotational dynamics in the strong-coupling regime and provides a method for complete quantum coherent control of a single molecular polariton.
