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 motion of neutral molecules in a beam can be manipulated and controlled with
inhomogeneous electric and magnetic fields. Static fields can be used to deflect or focus …

This paper presents a review of the current state of the art in the research field of cold and
ultracold molecules. It serves as an introduction to the focus issue ofNew Journal of Physics …

The goal of the present article is to review the major developments that have led to the
current understanding of molecule–field interactions and experimental methods for …

Polar molecules have a rich internal structure and long-range dipole–dipole interactions,
making them useful for quantum-controlled applications and fundamental investigations …

We demonstrate direct cooling of gaseous formaldehyde (H 2 CO) to the microkelvin regime.
Our approach, optoelectrical Sisyphus cooling, provides a simple dissipative cooling method …

The recent development of a range of new methods for producing samples of gas-phase
molecules that are translationally cold (K) or ultracold (mK) is driving efforts to study reactive …

The motion of neutral molecules in a beam can be manipulated with inhomogeneous
electric and magnetic fields. Static fields can be used to deflect or focus molecules, whereas …

Cavity-enhanced direct frequency comb spectroscopy combines broad bandwidth, high
spectral resolution, and ultrahigh detection sensitivity in one experimental platform based on …

We demonstrate deceleration of a beam of neutral strontium monofluoride molecules using
radiative forces. Under certain conditions, the deceleration results in a substantial flux of …
