A new mechanism for controlling chiral states in simple chiral molecules with internal rotation, which employs the coherent quantum entanglement of the rotational-torsional states of the molecules, is proposed. It requires no preliminary spatial alignment of the molecules in a solution. A novel scenario for the preferential laser synthesis of enantiomers from a racemic solution of chiral molecules employing this new mechanism of inducing chirality is proposed and analyzed in detail and experimental scheme realizing this scenario is discussed. It is suggested that a non-linear optical activity coherent anti-Stokes Raman scattering (NOA-CARS) spectroscopic technique is used for both inducing the gyration wave in the medium (vapor) of chiral molecules and detecting this photoinduced gyration wave in the medium by registering the NOA-CARS signal. All numerical estimates are made for the hydrogen peroxide and deuterated hydrogen peroxide chiral molecules.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
