Abstract
Non-radiative energy transfer between a Rydberg atom and a polar molecule can be controlled by a static electric field. Here, we show how to exploit this control for state-resolved, non-destructive detection and spectroscopy of the molecules, where the lineshape reflects the type of molecular transition. Using the example of ammonia, we identify the conditions for collision-mediated spectroscopy in terms of the required electric field strengths, relative velocities, and molecular densities. Rydberg atom-enabled spectroscopy is feasible with current experimental technology, providing a versatile detection method as a basic building block for applications of polar molecules in quantum technologies and chemical reaction studies.
