Controlling the rotational dynamics of polyatomic molecules is a key to the quantum renaissance of molecular physics with applications such as information encoding, quantum sensing, and chiral sensitive spectroscopy. Here, the authors present a method for complete control of the rotational dynamics in chiral asymmetric top molecules through quantum control theory.
