Towards Ultracold Chiral Molecules
CHIMIA, 2018 Atoms can be cooled and trapped efficiently with the help of lasers. So-called Doppler cooling takes advantage of momentum transfer upon absorption and emission of photons and of Doppler shifts to facilitate effectively closed optical absorption–

Molecule–molecule and atom–molecule collisions with ultracold RbCs molecules [PDF]
New Journal of Physics, 2021 Understanding ultracold collisions involving molecules is of fundamental importance for current experiments, where inelastic collisions typically limit the lifetime of molecular ensembles in optical traps.

Ultracold polar molecules as qudits
New Journal of Physics, 2020 We discuss how the internal structure of ultracold molecules, trapped in the motional ground state of optical tweezers, can be used to implement qudits. We explore the rotational, fine and hyperfine structure of ^40 Ca ^19 F and ^87 Rb ^133 Cs, which are

Cavity-controlled formation of ultracold molecules
New Journal of Physics, 2018 Ultracold ground-state molecules can be formed from ultracold atoms via photoassociation followed by a spontaneous emission process. Typically, the molecular products are distributed over a range of final states. Here, we propose to use an optical cavity

Ultracold collisions of polyatomic molecules: CaOH
New Journal of Physics, 2019 Ultracold collisions of the polyatomic species CaOH are considered, in internal states where the collisions should be dominated by long-range dipole–dipole interactions.

Sticky collisions of ultracold RbCs molecules [PDF]
Nature Communications, 2019 Ultracold polar molecules are an excellent platform for quantum science but experiments so far see fast trap losses that are poorly understood. Here the authors investigate collisional losses of nonreactive RbCs, and show they are consistent with the ...

Formation of ultracold NaRb Feshbach molecules
New Journal of Physics, 2015 We report the creation of ultracold bosonic ^23 Na ^87 Rb Feshbach molecules via magneto-association. By ramping the magnetic field across an interspecies Feshbach resonance (FR), at least 4000 molecules can be produced out of the near degenerate ...

Ultracold heteronuclear molecules and ferroelectric superfluids [PDF]
Physical Review Letters, 2006 We analyze the possibility of a ferroelectric transition in heteronuclear molecules consisting of Bose-Bose, Bose-Fermi or Fermi-Fermi atom pairs. This transition is characterized by the appearance of a spontaneous electric polarization below a critical ...
