Floquet Engineering of a Diatomic Molecule through a Bichromatic Radiation Field

Abstract

We report on a theoretical study of a Cs-2 molecule illuminated by two lasers and show how this can result in novel quantum dynamics. We reveal that these interactions facilitate the bypass of the non-crossing rule, forming light-induced conical intersections and modifiable avoided crossings. Our findings show how laser field orientation and strength, along with initial phase differences, can control molecular-state transitions, especially on the micromotion scale. We also extensively discuss how the interaction of radiation with matter gives rise to the emergence of potential energy surfaces of hybrids of radiation and molecular states. This research advances a technique for manipulating photoassociation processes in Cs-2 molecules, offering potential new avenues in quantum control.
