  "abstract": "Enantiomer-specific state transfer (ESST) based on electric-dipole transitions has attracted considerable interest in the studies of manipulating molecules with electromagnetic fields. It also holds promise as a powerful tool for enantiomer detection and separation. To date, experimental demonstrations of ESST have focused mainly on molecules in the lowest rotational angular-momentum states, namely, $J=0$ and $J=1$. Realistic molecular samples, however, may contain appreciable populations in higher-$J$ rotational states, making it desirable to develop ESST schemes applicable to such states. Nevertheless, one cannot derive such schemes via a simple and straightforward extension of existing low-$J$ schemes, because higher-$J$ manifolds contain more magnetic sub-levels and involve more complicated networks of electric-dipole transitions. Here, we propose an ESST scheme for chiral molecules involving the $J=1$ and $J=2$ rotational states. Specifically, our scheme is based on enantiomer-specific pumping driven by three linearly polarized microwave fields and one laser beam. Under this scheme, one enantiomer is pumped into an enantiomer-specific dark state within a sub manifold with $J=1,2$, whereas the other enantiomer is dissipatively pumped out of this manifold. Our strategy can be extended to systems involving rotational states with even higher angular momenta.",
