Chirality is a fundamental property of molecules whose spatial symmetry is characterized by
the absence of improper rotations, making them not superimposable to their mirror image …

In this brief review, possible mechanisms which could lead to complete biological
homochirality are discussed from the viewpoint of fundamental physics. In particular, the role …

In this review, parity‐violating gravitational potentials are presented as possible sources of
both true and false chirality. In particular, whereas phenomenological long‐range spin …

In this review, the concepts of quantum tunneling and parity violation are introduced in the
context of chiral molecules. A particle moving in a double well potential provides a good …

Within a generalized Langevin framework for open quantum systems, the cyclic evolution of
a two-level system is analyzed in terms of the geometric phase extended to dissipative …

The quest to decode the evolution of homochirality of life on earth has stimulated research at
the molecular level. In this study, handed mirror symmetry breaking, and molecular parity …

We propose an optical rotation experiment to detect the electroweak parity-violating energy
difference (PVED) between the two enantiomers of a chiral molecule. For some chiral …

We investigated whether semi-rigid and non-rigid π-conjugated fluorophores in the
photoexcited (S1) and ground (S0) states exhibited mirror symmetry by circularly polarized …

We study the tunnel dynamics of a chiral molecule between its left (L) and right (R)
conformations, under the global effect of collisional decoherence together with the effect of a …

Thermodynamical properties of non-interacting chiral molecules are studied under the two-
state model in an asymmetric double well potential. The competition between thermal …
