Precision measurements in molecules with frequency combs
Precise frequency measurements enable accurate determinations of physical constants, stringent tests of fundamental theories and searches for possible drifts of the fundamental constants. Simple atoms, hydrogen in particular, have long been the dedicated systems for confronting experimental data and accurate quantum electrodynamics theoretical calculations. With continued progress to ab initio calculations, precision measurements in small molecules, such as molecular hydrogen H2, are gaining much relevance and may be envisioned as an independent way to determine fundamental constants and to test quantum-chemistry theory. In this project, we will develop an instrument of precision molecular…
