像干扰这样的非经典特征已经被利用来控制化学反应的输出。然而，量子纠缠是一种同样神秘的多体量子关联，也可以作为一种强大的资源使用，但一直没有引起明确的注意。本文提出了一种在交叉光束分子动力学装置下，利用F+HD反应的实验方案，旨在研究反应物对中的纠缠对产物分布的角特征的可能影响。上述反应最近引起了人们的兴趣，因为在产物(HF)分布中观察到了不寻常的马蹄形图案，这被归因于自旋自由度和轨道自由度的耦合。提出了一种实验方案，旨在研究在同时存在纠缠和自旋-轨道相互作用的情况下，纠缠对包含这种自旋-轨道特性的必要性的可能影响。进一步对可获得的结果进行数值模拟，突出显示对应于各种可能性的特定图案。这类研究如果得到扩展，也可以从量子信息的角度对类似的反应提供意想不到的机制洞察。
Non‐classical features like interference are already being harnessed to control the output of chemical reactions. However, quantum entanglement which is an equally enigmatic many‐body quantum correlation can also be used as a powerful resource yet has eluded explicit attention. In this report, an experimental scheme under the crossed beam molecular dynamical setup, with the F + HD reaction, is proposed aiming to study the possible influence of entanglement within reactant pairs on the angular features of the product distribution. The aforesaid reaction has garnered interest recently, as an unusual horseshoe shape pattern in the product (HF) distribution was observed, which has been attributed to the coupling of spin and orbital degrees of freedom. An experimental scheme is proposed aiming to study the possible influence of entanglement on the necessity for the inclusion of such spin–orbit characteristics, under circumstances wherein the existence of entanglement and spin–orbit interaction is simultaneously detectable. The attainable results are further numerically simulated highlighting specific patterns corresponding to various possibilities. Such studies if extended can provide unforeseen mechanistic insight into analogous reactions, too, from the lens of quantum information.
