Ultrafast bimolecular reaction catalysis via engineered nuclear quantum effects in helium nanodroplets [PDF]
Nature CommunicationsNuclear quantum effects (NQEs) fundamentally alter chemical reactivities, particularly those occurring at low temperatures or involving light nuclei. Yet, directly resolving how NQEs influence the ultrafast dynamics of bond formation remains a central ...

Ab initio study of the reactivity of ultracold RbSr + RbSr collisions
New Journal of Physics, 2022 We performed ab initio calculations in order to assess the reactivity of ultracold RbSr $({}^{2}{\Sigma}^{+})$ + RbSr $({}^{2}{\Sigma}^{+})$ collisions occurring on the singlet as well as the triplet potential.

Exotic Chemistry with Ultracold Rydberg Atoms
CHIMIA, 2016 We review recent experiments carried out with dense (1012 cm–3) ultracold (T = 40 ?K) samples of Cs atoms which have the goal to characterize, by high-resolution spectroscopy, the interactions between Cs atoms, Cs+ ions and electrons that lead ...

Quantum dynamics of tunneling dominated reactions at low temperatures
New Journal of Physics, 2015 We report a quantum dynamics study of the Li + HF → LiF + H reaction at low temperatures of interest to cooling and trapping experiments. Contributions from non-zero partial waves are analyzed and results show narrow resonances in the energy dependence ...

Direct Frequency Comb Laser Cooling and Trapping
Physical Review X, 2016 Ultracold atoms, produced by laser cooling and trapping, have led to recent advances in quantum information, quantum chemistry, and quantum sensors. A lack of ultraviolet narrow-band lasers precludes laser cooling of prevalent atoms such as hydrogen ...
