The Quantum Mechanics of a Rolling Molecular “Nanocar”

Abstract We formulate a mathematical model of a rolling “molecular wheelbarrow”—a two-wheeled nanoscale molecular machine—informed by experiments on molecular machines recently synthesized in labs. The model is a nonholonomic system (briefly, a system with non-integrable velocity constraints), for w...
