Abstract

The decoherence of molecular vibrational wave packets in hot alkalide dimers was studied. Decoherence caused by vibration-rotation coupling appeared as dephasing. For hot molecules, the decoherence rate is proportional to the temperature. However, for temperatures about 400°C, the decoherence rate is much smaller than the vibrational frequency.
