Phys. Rev. Lett. 81, 3789–3792 (1998)Coherent Control of Reactive ScatteringSee Also: Erratum Received 11 December 1997; published in the issue dated 26 October 1998 Coherent control of bimolecular reactions is demonstrated for 3D atom-diatom reactive scattering. In particular, a superposition of initial degenerate (vjk) diatomic states is used to control reactive integral and differential cross sections in D+H2(vjk)→H+HD, where v and j are the vibrational and rotational quantum numbers of a diatom and k is the projection quantum number of the diatom angular momentum onto the initial relative translational velocity vector. Control over the ratio of reactive to nonreactive scattering is extensive. © 1998 The American Physical Society URL:
