Giant formation rates of ultracold molecules via Feshbach Optimized Photoassociation
, 2008 Ultracold molecules offer a broad variety of applications, ranging from metrology to quantum computing. However, forming "real" ultracold molecules, {\it i.e.} in deeply bound levels, is a very difficult proposition. Here, we show how photoassociation in

Experimental realization of a Rydberg optical Feshbach resonance in a quantum many-body system
Nature Communications, 2018 Ultracold Rydberg molecules have characteristic properties that can be exploited for quantum control and applications. Here the authors demonstrate a Rydberg optical Feshbach resonance, which is based on ultra-long-range Rydberg molecules.

Optical Production of Stable Ultracold $^{88}$Sr$_2$ Molecules
, 2012 We have produced large samples of ultracold $^{88}$Sr$_2$ molecules in the electronic ground state in an optical lattice. The molecules are bound by 0.05 cm$^{-1}$ and are stable for several milliseconds. The fast, all-optical method of molecule creation

Controlling the quantum stereodynamics of ultracold bimolecular reactions
, 2010 Chemical reaction rates often depend strongly on stereodynamics, namely the orientation and movement of molecules in three-dimensional space. An ultracold molecular gas, with a temperature below 1 uK, provides a highly unusual regime for chemistry, where

Observation of pendular butterfly Rydberg molecules
Nature Communications, 2016 Rydberg molecules have potential for ultracold chemistry applications in light of their unconventional binding mechanism that provides high tunability. Here the authors observe and control butterfly Rydberg molecules, which are bound by a shape resonance

Resonance phenomena in ultracold dipole-dipole scattering
, 2008 Elastic scattering resonances occurring in ultracold collisions of either bosonic or fermionic polar molecules are investigated. The Born-Oppenheimer adiabatic representation of the two-bodydynamics provides both a qualitative classification scheme and a
