In reference to this paper, http://iopscience.iop.org/1355-5111/8/1/014, we are able to localize atoms using homodyne measurement. Would it be too naive to consider we can measure the position of atoms that make up molecules? I know that the LCAO (Linear Combination of Atomic Orbitals) is a widely used method to approximate molecular orbitals. This leads me to think, whether or not we can use homodyne measurements to measure the position of atoms in a molecule. If homodyne measurements don't work, what other ways are there to gain information about the position wavefunction of molecules for let's say, H2?

Example I'm considering:
I'm thinking that the position wavefunction for H2, would be its molecular orbitals. If we estimated its molecular wavefunction as a linear combination of two atomic H orbitals that are in close proximity to each other, then... can't there be *some* way of applying homodyne measurement techniques to gain information about the position wavefunction of the two H atoms?
