Quantum computation solves a half-century-old enigma: Elusive vibrational states of magnesium dimer found
Stephen H. Yuwono, Ilias Magoulas, Piotr Piecuch
Abstract
root mean square deviation between the calculated rovibrational term values and the available experimental and experimentally derived data. Our computations reproduce the latest laser-induced fluorescence spectrum and provide guidance for the experimental detection of the previously unresolved vibrational levels.
