Description
The many internal quantum states (vibrational, rotational, hyperfine, parity) of molecules add complexity to experiments but in exchange offer opportunity. Fr instance, the current best limit on the electron’s electric dipole moment was set in a trapped-molecule experiment, and prospects for finding new CP-violating physics in radioactive molecules are excellent. I’ll review some of this and also talk about an enabling technology: visions for reading out the internal state population in multiple quantum states in a single shot.
