Strictly non-adiabatic quantum control of the acetylene dication using an infrared field
We demonstrate the existence of a strictly non-adiabatic control pathway in deprotonation of the acetylene dication. This pathway is identified experimentally by measuring a kinetic energy shift in an ion coincidence experiment. We use a time dependent Schrödinger equation simulation to identify which properties most strongly affect our control. We find that resonant control around conical intersections is limited by the speed of non-adiabatic dynamics.
