Abstract
We conducted a joint theoretical and experimental study to investigate the collisional dissipation of molecular alignment. By comparing experimental measurements to the quantum simulations, the nonsecular effect in the collision dissipation of molecular alignment was unveiled from the gas-density-dependent decay rates of the molecular alignment revival signals. Different from the conventional perspective that the nonsecular collisional effect rapidly fades within the initial few picoseconds following laser excitation, our simulations of the time-dependent decoherence process demonstrated that this effect can last for tens of picoseconds in the low-pressure regime. This extended timescale allows for the distinct identification of the nonsecular effect from molecular alignment signals. Our findings present the pioneering evidence that nonsecular molecular collisional dissipation can endure over an extended temporal span, challenging established concepts and strengthening our understanding of molecular dynamics within dissipative environments.

Abstract
The rotational dynamics of a molecule is sensitive to neighboring atoms or molecules, which can be used to probe the intermolecular interactions in the gas phase. Here, we real-time track the laser-driven rotational dynamics of a single N2 molecule affected by neighboring Ar atoms using coincident Coulomb explosion imaging. We find that the alignment trace of N-N axis decays fast and only persists for a few picoseconds when an Ar atom is nearby. We show that the decay rate depends on the rotational geometry of whether the Ar atom stays in or out of the rotational plane of the N2 molecule. Additionally, the vibration of the van der Waals bond is found to be excited through coupling with the rotational N-N axis. The observations are well reproduced by solving the time-dependent Schrödinger equation after taking the interaction potential between the N2 and Ar into consideration. Our results demonstrate that environmental effects on a molecular level can be probed by directly visualizing the rotational dynamics.

Abstract
Optical pumping of molecules provides unique opportunities for control of chemical reactions at a wide range of rotational energies. This work reports a chemical reaction with extreme rotational excitation of a reactant and its kinetic characterization. We investigate the chemical reactivity for the hydrogen abstraction reaction SiO+ + H2 → SiOH+ + H in an ion trap. The SiO+ cations are prepared in a narrow rotational state distribution, including super-rotor states with rotational quantum number (j) as high as 170, using a broad-band optical pumping method. We show that the super-rotor states of SiO+ substantially enhance the reaction rate, a trend reproduced by complementary theoretical studies. We reveal the mechanism for the rotational enhancement of the reactivity to be a strong coupling of the SiO+ rotational mode with the reaction coordinate at the transition state on the dominant dynamical pathway.

Abstract
Angular momentum transfer and wavepacket dynamics of CO2(g) were measured on the picosecond time scale using polarization-resolved two-dimensional infrared (2D-IR) spectroscopy. The dynamics of rotational levels up to Jmax ≈ 50 are observed simultaneously at room temperature. Rotational wavepackets launched by the pump pulses cause oscillations in the intensity of individual peaks and beating patterns in the 2D-IR spectra. The structure of the rotationally resolved 2D-IR spectrum is explained using nonlinear response function theory. Spectral diffusion of the rotationally resolved 2D-IR peaks reveals information about angular momentum transfer. We demonstrate the ability to directly measure inelastic angular momentum dynamics simultaneously across the ∼50 thermally excited rotational levels over several hundred picoseconds.

Abstract
We report the experimental observation of the rotation of the linear polarization of light propagating in a gas of fast-spinning molecules (molecular superrotors). In the observed effect, related to Fermi's prediction of "polarization drag" by a rotating medium, the vector of linear polarization tilts in the direction of molecular rotation. We use an optical centrifuge to bring the molecules in a gas sample to ultrafast unidirectional rotation and measure the polarization drag angles of the order of 10^{-4} rad (with an experimental uncertainty about 10^{-6} rad) over the propagation distance of the order of 1 mm in a number of gases under ambient conditions. We demonstrate an all-optical control of the drag magnitude and direction and investigate the robustness of the mechanical Faraday effect with respect to molecular collisions.

Abstract
State-resolved distributions and collision dynamics of optically centrifuged CO molecules with orientated angular momentum are investigated by probing the CO J = 29-80 rotational levels using high-resolution transient IR absorption spectroscopy. An optical centrifuge with tunable bandwidth is used to control the extent of rotational excitation in the sample. The rotational distributions are inverted with a maximum population in J = 62. Rotational levels with J > 62 have populations that correlate with the intensity profile of the optical trap. The full bandwidth trap excites CO up to the J = 80 level, while J = 67 is the highest level observed in the reduced bandwidth trap. Polarization-sensitive transient spectroscopy shows that the initial orientational anisotropy is r = 0.8 for levels with J ≥ 55, while anisotropy values are near r = 0.4 for levels with J < 50. The rotational distribution for J > 50 is broadened slightly by collisions, consistent with small |ΔJ| propensity rules for rotational energy transfer. Doppler-broadened line profiles show that the J = 60-80 levels have translational temperatures near Ttrans = 300 K and that these temperatures remain constant for as much as 24 gas kinetic collisions. Doppler linewidths for levels with J < 60 are broadened by non-resonant rotation-to-translation energy transfer. Kinetic analysis of transient signals shows that collisions with thermal bath molecules are the predominant relaxation pathway.

Abstract
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 calculate for anisotropic van der Waals scattering. For large rotational energies, we find quantitative agreement of the resulting alignment decay rate with recent superrotor experiments.

Abstract
We report on the polarization analysis of shortpulse ultraviolet radiation produced by third-harmonic generation in a gas of coherently spinning molecules. A pulse of twisted linear polarization imprints a unidirectional rotational motion to the molecules leading to an orientation of their rotational angular momenta. A second pulse, time-delayed with respect to the first one, circularly polarized in the plane of rotation of the molecules, acts as a driving field for third-harmonic generation. The angular momentum and energy conservation applied to this process foresees the generation of two Doppler-shifted circularly-polarized harmonics of opposite handedness. Our analysis reveals that spinning molecules enable the generation of a well polarized third-harmonic radiation exhibiting a high degree of ellipticity. Tracking the orientation of the latter allows a time-capture of the molecular axis direction from which the average angular velocity of the rotating molecules is inferred. This method provides a user-friendly polarization-based tachometer for measurement of the rotational speed of spinning nonlinear rotors.

Abstract
Molecular chirality is conventionally understood as space-inversion-symmetry breaking in the equilibrium structure of molecules. Less well known is that achiral molecules can be made chiral through extreme rotational excitation. Here, we theoretically demonstrate a clear strategy for generating rotationally induced chirality: An optical centrifuge rotationally excites the phosphine molecule (PH_{3}) into chiral cluster states that correspond to clockwise (R enantiomer) or anticlockwise (L enantiomer) rotation about axes almost coinciding with single P─H bonds. The application of a strong dc electric field during the centrifuge pulse favors the production of one rotating enantiomeric form over the other, creating dynamically chiral molecules with permanently oriented rotational angular momentum. This essential step toward characterizing rotationally induced chirality promises a fresh perspective on chirality as a fundamental aspect of nature.

Abstract
The control of ultrafast molecular rotational motion has benefited from the development of innovative techniques in strong-field laser physics. Here, we theoretically demonstrate a novel type of coherent control by inducing rotation of an asymmetric-top molecule about two different molecular axes. An optical centrifuge is applied to the hydrogen sulfide (H2S) molecule to create a molecular superrotor, an object performing ultrafast rotation about a well-defined axis. Using two distinct pulse envelopes for the optical centrifuge, we show that H2S can be excited along separate pathways of rotational states. This leads to stable rotation about two entirely different molecular axes while ensuring rotation is about the propagation direction of the centrifuge, i.e., the laboratory-fixed Z-axis. The presented scheme to control the angular momentum alignment of a molecule will, for instance, be useful in studies of molecule-molecule or molecule-surface scattering, especially due to the large amounts of energy associated with superrotors, which can even be controlled by changing the duration of the optical centrifuge pulse.

Abstract
The decay of field-free rotational dynamics is experimentally studied by two complementary methods: laser-induced molecular alignment and terahertz-field-induced molecular orientation. A comparison between the decay rates of different molecular species at various gas pressures reveals that oriented molecular ensembles decay faster than aligned ensembles. The discrepancy in decay rates is attributed to the coherent radiation emitted by the transiently oriented ensembles and is absent from aligned molecules. The experimental results reveal the dramatic contribution of coherent radiative emission to the observed decay of rotational dynamics and underline a general phenomenon expected whenever field-free coherent dipole oscillations are induced.
