What is recorded here?
Vilas and colleagues trapped and imaged individual calcium monohydroxide molecules in an array of six optical tweezers. They also prepared and coherently controlled internal states associated with a vibrational bending mode, extending single-molecule control to a polyatomic species.
Source-linked catalogue note. A detailed explanatory guide has not yet been prepared for this entry.
Scientific scope
The array loaded probabilistically. In a seven-millisecond image, the reported 95% classification fidelity at a 30% loading probability and 80% molecule survival are different quantities. The work did not demonstrate molecular entanglement, a defect-free rearranged array or motional ground-state cooling.
