abstract = {Superpositions of handed molecular states give rise to
achiral eigenstates, delocalized across a double-well
potential via tunneling. In principle, a coherent
superposition of these stationary eigenstates could
dynamically relocalize the molecules into chiral states,
which has only been demonstrated theoretically. Here, we
present a microwave six-wave mixing pump-probe study to
create and probe coherent chiral tunneling dynamics in a
rotational state. Through a time-resolved scheme, we uncover
the periodic time evolution of the induced chiral wavepacket
under field-free conditions, using enantiomeric excess as
the observable. We also demonstrate precise phase control of
this coherence via phase modulation during pump excitation.
Our results offer foundational evidence for the
superposition principle in chiral tunneling systems, with
implications for advancing quantum control in these system.},
