Perspective: Ultracold molecules and the dawn of cold controlled chemistry [PDF]

open access: yesThe Journal of Chemical Physics, 2016
Ultracold molecules offer unprecedented opportunities for the controlled interrogation of molecular events, including chemical reactivity in the ultimate quantum regime. The proliferation of methods to create, cool, and confine them has allowed the investigation of a diverse array of molecular systems and chemical reactions at temperatures where only a

Photonic Floquet–Bloch Oscillations Dominated by Floquet Gauge

open access: yesLaser &Photonics Reviews, Volume 19, Issue 17, September 4, 2025.
A new type of Bloch oscillations (namely, asymmetric Floquet–Bloch oscillations) whose evolution is biased along the evolution dimension is proposed and visually observed. The Floquet gauge can determine the light broadening to be biased toward the first or second half of the period. These findings reveal a new mechanism for wave packet revival and may

Coherent Control of Ultracold Collisions with Chirped Light: Direction Matters

open access: yes, 2006
We demonstrate the ability to coherently control ultracold atomic Rb collisions using frequency-chirped light on the nanosecond time scale. For certain center frequencies of the chirp, the rate of inelastic trap-loss collisions induced by negatively ...

Directional quantum-controlled chemistry: Generating aligned ultracold molecules via photoassociation

open access: yesPhysical Review A, 2017
Photoassociation of ultracold atoms is shown to lead to alignment of the product molecules along the excitation laser polarization axis. We theoretically investigate pulsed photoassociation of $^{87}Rb$ atoms into a specific weakly-bound level of the a $^3 _u^+$ metastable electronic state and find both stationary and time-dependent field-free ...

Energetics and control of ultracold isotope-exchange reactions between heteronuclear dimers in external fields

open access: yes, 2015
We show that isotope-exchange reactions between ground-state alkali-metal, alkaline-earth-metal, and lanthanide heteronuclear dimers consisting of two isotopes of the same atom are exothermic with an energy change in the range of 1-8000$\,$MHz thus ...
