The FAR-OFF System: A Heuristic Search Case-Based Planning

This paper presents a case-based planning system, called FAR-OFF, as an alternative approach to heuristic search generative planners, like HSP and FF. The FAR-OFF system introduces the use of a new similarity metric, called ADG (Action Distance-Guided), that is more accurate than other similarity metrics, and it also incorporates techniques to decrease the retrieval time, like the Footprint-bas...

Shaping interactions between polar molecules with far-off-resonant light

We show that dressing polar molecules with a far-off-resonant optical field leads to new types of intermolecular potentials, which undergo a crossover from the inverse-power to oscillating behavior depending on the intermolecular distance, and whose parameters can be tuned by varying the laser intensity and wavelength. We present analytic expressions for the potential energy surfaces, thereby p...

Prospects for influencing scattering lengths with far-off-resonant light

We explore a recent proposal @Fedichev et al., Phys. Rev. Lett. 77, 2913 ~1996!# for altering the mean interaction strength between ultracold atoms using an appropriately detuned laser. Although care must be taken to minimize laser-driven loss processes, we find large ranges of intensities and detunings where useful changes might be affected. Accordingly, we present simple formulas for the effe...

Spatial Raman solitons in far-off resonant atomic systems

Since the original suggestions of self-trapping for laser beams 1–3 , there has been a growing interest in generation of spatial optical solitons due to their rich nonlinear dynamics, and their potential technological applications 4 . Over the last few decades, spatial optical solitons have been predicted and demonstrated in a variety of physical systems utilizing different nonlinear optical pr...
