Abstract

Spectroscopy Achieving efficient quantum control of ultracold molecular systems may open opportunities in molecular precision spectroscopy, quantum information, and related fields. Sinhal et al. report a quantumnondemolition protocol for the detection of the spin-rovibronic state of a single trapped cold molecular ion co-trapped with an atomic ion. They show that monitoring the motion of Ca+ after coherent motional excitation of the Ca+-N2+ string makes it possible to detect the N2+ state without destroying either the molecule or the state itself. The procedure can be repeated multiple times while preserving the high readout fidelity. Science , this issue p. [1213][1] [1]: /lookup/doi/10.1126/science.aaz9837
