Abstract
As the most abundant molecule in the universe, collisions involving H2 have important implications in astrochemistry. Collisions between hydrogen molecules also represent a prototype for assessing various dynamic methods for understanding fundamental few-body processes. In this work, we develop a new and highly accurate full-dimensional potential energy surface (PES) covering all reactive channels of the H2 + H2 system, which extends our previously reported H2 + H2 nonreactive PES [J. Chem. Theory Comput., 2021, 17, 6747] by adding 39,538 additional ab initio points calculated at the MRCI/AV5Z level in the reactive channels. The global PES is represented with high fidelity (RMSE = 0.6 meV for a total of 79,000 points) by a permutation invariant polynomial neural network (PIP-NN) and is suitable for studying collision-induced dissociation, single-exchange, as well as four-center exchange reactions. Preliminary quasi-classical trajectory studies on the new PIP-NN PES reveal strong vibrational enhancement of all reaction channels.

Abstract
The objective of this study is to enhance our understanding of the existence of molecules in interstellar space by determining the collisional rate coefficients with the most prevalent species. The study examines the impact of para-H2 collisions, specifically when it is in its ground vibrational state with a nuclear spin of para-H2, i.e., jp = 0, on causing the rotational deexcitation of the diisocyanogen (CNNC) molecule. These scattering data are obtained as a result of spherically averaging a four-dimensional potential energy surface (4DPES) over the H2 orientations. Using the CCSD(T)-F12a approach and aug-cc-pVTZ basis sets, the ab initio 4DPES for the CNNC-H2 van der Waals system is calculated. The CNNC-para-H2 4DPES attains a global minimum of 221.38 cm-1 at the CNNC and H2 center of mass distance (R) of 3.1 Å. The method of close coupling calculations is employed for the purpose of calculating the cross-sectional data of CNNC with para-H2 (jp = 0), for total energies up to 1000 cm-1. Rate coefficients are computed over the temperature range of 1 K to 100 K. Propensity suggests that even Δj transitions are strongly preferred. The rate coefficients for CNNC-H2 are determined to be 0.90-2.95 times those of CNNC-He, which implies it is not reliable to estimate the H2 rate coefficients by multiplying the rate coefficients for CNNC-He collision with a scaling factor of 1.38.

Abstract
The rotational excitation rates of NCCN species are studied for its collision with hydrogen (H2) in temperatures ranging from 1 to 100 K. Such collisions can occur in the interstellar medium with H2 in either para (p-) or ortho (o-) state, of which the p-H2 state can be approximated via its collision with He (using a scaling factor) or with a reduced rigid rotor-H2 surface (by averaging over various orientations of H2). In the current work, a four-dimensional (4D) ab initio potential energy surface (PES) is considered to study the collision dynamics of H2 in both p- and o-states and the results are compared with previous approximations. The 4D surface is constructed using the explicitly correlated coupled-cluster method CCSD(T)-F12b with the augmented triple zeta basis AVTZ and then fitted into an artificial neural networks (NN) model to augment the surface and account for missing data points. The radial coefficients are obtained from this NN fitted 4D PES via a least square fit over two spherical harmonics functions. The cross sections (σ) are computed using the close-coupling (CC) method (until 230 cm-1) for both p- and o-H2 collisions, and the rates are obtained by Boltzmann distribution over the translational energy of H2 until 100 K. The o-H2 rates are found to be higher by 25%-30% and 10%-20% compared to the p-H2 rates for Δj = 2 and higher order transitions, respectively. The coupled-state/centrifugal sudden approximated rates are also computed and found to have deviations as large as 40% when compared to CC rates, thus making quantitative descriptions unreliable.

Abstract
The amount of information that can be obtained from a scattering experiment depends upon the precision with which the quantum states are defined in the incoming channel. By precisely defining the incoming states and measuring the outgoing states in a scattering experiment, we set up the boundary condition for experimentally solving the Schrödinger equation. In this Perspective we discuss cold inelastic scattering experiments using the most theoretically tractable H2 and its isotopologues as the target. We prepare the target in a precisely defined rovibrational (v, j, m) quantum state using a special coherent optical technique called the Stark-induced adiabatic Raman passage (SARP). v and j represent the quantum numbers of the vibrational and rotational energy levels, and m refers to the projection of the rotational angular momentum vector j on a suitable quantization axis in the laboratory frame. Selection of the m quantum numbers defines the alignment of the molecular frame, which is necessary to probe the anisotropic interactions. For us to achieve the collision temperature in the range of a few degrees Kelvin, we co-expand the colliding partners in a mixed supersonic beam that is collimated to define a direction for the collision velocity. When the bond axis is aligned with respect to a well-defined collision velocity, SARP achieves stereodynamic control at the quantum scale. Through various examples of rotationally inelastic cold scattering experiments, we show how SARP coherently controls the dynamics of anisotropic interactions by preparing quantum superpositions of the orientational m states within a single rovibrational (v, j) energy state. A partial wave analysis, which has been developed for the cold scattering experiments, shows dominance of a resonant orbital that leaves its mark in the scattering angular distribution. These highly controlled cold collision experiments at the single partial wave limit allow the most direct comparison with the results of theoretical computations, necessary for accurate modeling of the molecular interaction potential.

Abstract
The collision dynamics between a pair of aligned molecules in the presence of a partial-wave resonance provide the most sensitive probe of the long-range anisotropic forces important to chemical reactions. Here we control the collision temperature and geometry to probe the dynamics of cold (1-3 K) rotationally inelastic scattering of a pair of optically state-prepared D2 molecules. The collision temperature is manipulated by combining the gating action of laser state preparation and detection with the velocity dispersion of the molecular beam. When the bond axes of both molecules are aligned parallel to the collision velocity, the scattering rate drops by a factor of 3.5 as collision energies >2.1 K are removed, suggesting a geometry-dependent resonance. Partial-wave analysis of the measured angular distribution supports a shape resonance within the centrifugal barrier of the l = 2 incoming orbital. Our experiment illustrates the strong anisotropy of the quadrupole-quadrupole interaction that controls the dynamics of resonant scattering.

Abstract
We report a new full-dimensional potential energy surface (PES) for the inelastic scattering between ro-vibrationally excited H2 molecules. The new PES is based on 39,462 multi-reference configuration interaction points in dynamically relevant regions. The analytic form of the PES consists of a short-range term fit with the permutational invariant polynomial-neural network method and a long-range term with a physically correct asymptotic functional form accounting for both electrostatic and dispersion terms, which are connected smoothly with a switching function. The PES compares favorably with existing accurate PESs near the H2 equilibrium geometries but covers a much larger configuration space for H2 with up to 10 vibrational quanta. Full-dimensional quantum scattering calculations on the new PES reproduce the recent Stark-induced adiabatic Raman passage results for the HD(v = 1) + H2 scattering near 1 K, validating its accuracy. These calculations also revealed significant differences with existing PESs in describing scattering of vibrationally excited molecules, underscoring the ability of the new PES in handling such dynamics.

Abstract
The rate coefficients of rotationally inelastic collision processes for N2-HF as well as N2-DF systems were calculated by applying the recently developed coupled-states approximation including the nearest neighbor Coriolis couplings approach, based on the full-dimensional ab initio intermolecular potential energy surface. It was found that the energy gap law governs these energy transfer processes. For rotational quenching of N2 (j1 = 2-10) by the ground rotational state of HF, j1 = 6 and 5 have the maximum quenching rate for ortho-N2 and para-N2, respectively. Quenching rate coefficients for initially excited HF and DF (j2 = 1) in collisions with N2 were also reported, where N2-DF has a larger quenching rate than N2-HF due to larger density of states of the N2-DF system.

Abstract
In this paper, we put forward a new application in optical data storage (ODS) of tetraphenylethene (TPE)-doped photopolymer, which has an aggregation-induced emission attribute. The photopolymer host reacted with the excitation light at the focal point of a high numerical-aperture lens to enhance the fluorescence intensity mainly because of the function of the ${{\rm Zn}^{2 + }}$Zn2+ ion. We recorded data inside the photopolymer matrix by using this property and had distinct fluorescence intensity contrast between the photochemical regions and other regions. This attribute paves a new way for superresolution ODS and opens the way to exploring the possibility of utilizing TPE-doped photopolymers as chemical sensors in the future.

Abstract
Molecular interactions are best probed by scattering experiments. Interpretation of these studies has been limited by lack of control over the quantum states of the incoming collision partners. We report here the rotationally inelastic collisions of quantum-state prepared deuterium hydride (HD) with H2 and D2 using a method that provides an improved control over the input states. HD was coexpanded with its partner in a single supersonic beam, which reduced the collision temperature to 0-5 K, and thereby restricted the involved incoming partial waves to s and p. By preparing HD with its bond axis preferentially aligned parallel and perpendicular to the relative velocity of the colliding partners, we observed that the rotational relaxation of HD depends strongly on the initial bond-axis orientation. We developed a partial-wave analysis that conclusively demonstrates that the scattering mechanism involves the exchange of internal angular momentum between the colliding partners. The striking differences between H2/HD and D2/HD scattering suggest the presence of anisotropically sensitive resonances.

Abstract
Theoretical foundation is laid out for description of permutation symmetry in the inelastic scattering processes that involve collisions of two identical molecules, within the framework of the mixed quantum/classical theory (MQCT). In this approach, the rotational (and vibrational) states of two molecules are treated quantum-mechanically, whereas their translational motion (responsible for scattering) is treated classically. This theory is applied to H2 + H2 system, and the state-to-state transition cross sections are compared versus those obtained from the full-quantum calculations and experimental results from the literature. Good agreement is found in all cases. It is also found that results of MQCT, where the Coriolis coupling is included classically, are somewhat closer to exact full-quantum results than results of the other approximate quantum methods, where those coupling terms are neglected. These new developments allow applications of MQCT to a broad variety of molecular systems and processes.

Abstract
We study inelastic collisions in a pure, trapped sample of Feshbach molecules made of bosonic cesium atoms in the quantum halo regime. We measure the relaxation rate coefficient for decay to lower-lying molecular states and study the dependence on scattering length and temperature. We identify a pronounced loss minimum with varying scattering length along with a further suppression of loss with decreasing temperature. Our observations provide insight into the physics of a few-body quantum system that consists of four identical bosons at large values of the two-body scattering length.

Abstract
We present the results of a full-dimensional quantum mechanical study of the rovibrational energy transfer in the collision between ortho-H2 and para-H2 in the energy range of 0.1-1.0 eV. The multiconfiguration time-dependent Hartree algorithm has been used to propagate the wave packets on the global potential energy surface by Boothroyd et al. [J. Chem. Phys. 116, 666 (2002)] and on a modification of this surface where the short range anisotropy is reduced. State-to-state attributes such as probabilities or integral cross sections are obtained using the formalism of Tannor and Weeks [J. Chem. Phys. 98, 3884 (1993)] by Fourier transforming the correlation functions. The effect of initial rotation of the diatoms on the inelastic and de-excitation processes is investigated.
