Description:
Author(s): Benjamin A. Stickler, Farhad Taher Ghahramani, and Klaus Hornberger We present the quantum master equation describing the coherent and incoherent dynamics of a rapidly rotating molecule in the presence of a thermal background gas. The master equation relates the rate of rotational alignment decay and decoherence to the microscopic scattering amplitudes, which we cal... [Phys. Rev. Lett. 121, 243402] Published Fri Dec 14, 2018
