The physical manifestation of quantum-entangled electronically excited states in polyatomic molecules
The nature and general principles of formation of electron-excited states of hydrocarbon molecules are considered using naphthalene as an example. The probability of manifestation of quantum-entangled electron states for naphthalene is established. The presence of bound pairs of electron-excited states, which are described by the sum and difference of wave functions of single-electron excited configurations of different types, is shown. This effect is correlated with the presence of quantum-entangled electron states. An experiment is proposed that can confirm the existence and possibility of realization of quantum-entangled electron-excited states of hydrocarbon molecules.
