Polar molecules in the quantum regime
May 2011 Physics Today 27 Molecules at ultralow temperatures represent an exciting new frontier for atomic, molecular, and optical physics; that frontier is endowed with a strong interdisciplinary character and connections to other scientific fields, including chemistry, quantum information, condensed-matter physics, and astrophysics.1 The connections, and many possibilities for technological a...
متن کاملUltracold Molecules from Ultracold Atoms: Interactions in Sodium and Lithium Gas
The thesis presents results from experiments in which ultracold Sodium-6 and Lithium-23 atomic gases were studied near a Feshbach resonance at high magnetic fields. The enhanced interactions between atoms in the presence of a molecular state enhance collisions, leading to inelastic decay and loss, many-body dynamics, novel quantum phases, and molecule formation. Experimental data is presented a...
متن کاملFeshbach Resonances in Ultracold Gases
Feshbach resonances are the essential tool to control the interaction between atoms in ultracold quantum gases. They have found numerous experimental applications, opening up the way to important breakthroughs. This Review broadly covers the phenomenon of Feshbach resonances in ultracold gases and their main applications. This includes the theoretical background and models for the description o...
متن کاملA dipolar gas of ultracold molecules.
Ultracold polar molecular gases promise new directions and exciting applications in collisions and chemical reactions at ultralow energies, precision measurements, novel quantum phase transitions, and quantum information science. Here we briefly discuss key experimental requirements for observing strong dipole-dipole interactions in an ultracold dipolar gas of molecules. We then survey current ...
متن کاملPrecision molecular spectroscopy for ground state transfer of molecular quantum gases.
One possibility for the creation of ultracold, high phase space density quantum gases of molecules in the rovibronic ground state relies on first associating weakly-bound molecules from quantum-degenerate atomic gases on a Feshbach resonance and then transferring the molecules via several steps of coherent two-photon stimulated Raman adiabatic passage (STIRAP) into the rovibronic ground state. ...
