PT Journal AU Baumert, T TI Quantum technology: Wave packets get a kick SO Nature Physics JI Nat. Phys. PY 2011 BP 373 EP 374 VL 7 IS 5 DE fromIPMRAS AB Intense femtosecond pulses of infrared light can manipulate molecules. It is now shown that such control even extends to making different molecular eigenstates interfere with each other in a way never considered before -- a potential tool for optically engineered chemical reactions and for ultrafast information encoding and manipulation.
