Cover Story: Quantum interference between the direct and looping reaction pathways determines the outcome of the ultracold O + OH → H + O2 reaction. In the ultracold regime, the interference can approach its maximal constructive or destructive values, effectively turning the reaction on or off (a quantum switch!). This is due to the unique properties of ultracold collisions, where the scattering phase shifts approach integer multiples of π (the integer corresponds to the number of bound states supported along each pathway). The geometric phase associated with the C2v conical intersection introduces an additional π-phase shift between the two interfering pathways, which reverses the nature of the interference (constructive ↔ destructive) and in this way controls the reaction.

Mixed Basis Sets for Atomic Calculations

  • Mikhail Kozlov and
  • Ilya Tupitsyn

19 September 2019

Many numerical methods of atomic calculations use one-electron basis sets. These basis sets must meet rather contradictory requirements. On the one hand, they must include physically justified orbitals, such as Dirac–Fock ones, for the one-electron s...
