Rotational entangled states between two coupled molecules

Abstract

A method is proposed to create entanglement between two coupled identical polar molecules separated at a distance of tens of nanometres. Entangled states of two coupled polar molecules controlled by half-cycle pulses are studied theoretically. The von Neumann entropy is calculated to characterize the degree of entanglement. By varying the pulse shape of the applied laser, transition from regular to irregular behaviour occurs. Moreover, the entanglement is also found to be enhanced by applying multiple laser pulses. The behaviour from quantum to classical limit is also discussed.
