AbstractWith support from the Chemical Structure and Dynamics (CSD) program in the Chemistry Section, Professor Kang-Kuen Ni of Harvard University is investigating coherent control in reactions of extremely cold molecules where the quantum state of the reactants can be carefully prepared and reaction outcomes accurately measured. So far, researchers have shown that certain properties, like nuclear spin and quantum coherence, are preserved during reactions that start from very specific quantum conditions
