Fig. 2: Rotational subsystem for enantiomer selective excitation.
From: Full quantum control of enantiomer-selective state transfer in chiral molecules despite degeneracy
The subsystem consists of the states \(\left|J=1,\tau =-1,M\right\rangle\), \(\left|J=2,\tau =-1,M\right\rangle\) and \(\left|J=2,\tau =0,M\right\rangle\), where J, τ, and M are the quantum numbers of the asymmetric top. The orange, (pink, and turquoise) lines indicate the transitions which are induced by fields with polarization σ+ (σ−, z) and frequencies ω1 (ω2, ω3), respectively. The transition in transparent magenta is not part of any of the three-wave mixing cycles. The small numbers indicate the states of the subsystem.
