The angular momentum of molecules, or, equivalently, their rotation in three-dimensional
space, is ideally suited for quantum control. Molecular angular momentum is naturally …

Terahertz (THz) light has proven to be a fine tool to probe and control quasi-particles and
collective excitations in solids, to drive phase transitions and associated changes in material …

We present a combined analytical and numerical study for coherent terahertz control of a
single molecular polariton, formed by strongly coupling two rotational states of a molecule …

We have used picosecond THz pulses to induce transient field-free orientation of OCS
molecules. Coherent optical Raman excitation prepares the molecules in rotational …

Generating field-free (non-stationary) orientation of molecules in space has been a
longstanding goal in the field of quantum control of molecular rotation, which has significant …

We present a theoretical investigation of the influence of molecular alignment and
orientation on elliptically polarized high-order harmonic generation (HHG) from CO …

We experimentally study the optical-and terahertz-induced rotational dynamics of
asymmetric molecules in the gas phase. Terahertz and optical fields are identified as two …

The phenomenon of quantum revivals resulting from the self-interference of wave packets
has been observed in several quantum systems and utilized widely in spectroscopic …

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 …

We present a novel, previously unreported phenomenon appearing in a thermal gas of
nonlinear polar molecules excited by a single THz pulse. We find that the induced …
