Description
Molecular quantum optics deals with phenomena related to the wave nature of molecules, in particular the interaction of molecules with light. Modern molecule interferometry observes quantum effects in massive particles and more recently also biologically relevant molecules. The high sensitivity to beam shifts and wave dephasing can be used to extract a variety of molecular electronic properties. Molecular matter-wave experiments hence open a wide field of research at the interface between quantum optics and chemical physics. Complex many-body systems further offer a variety of properties that render quantum decoherence interesting and may be technologically useful for future applications.
