We demonstrate the formation of a single RbCs molecule during the merging of two optical
tweezers, one containing a single Rb atom and the other a single Cs atom. Both atoms are …

Pairs of free particles cannot form bound states in an elastic collision due to momentum and
energy conservation. In many ultracold experiments, however, the particles collide in the …

We implement an experimental architecture in which a single atom of K is trapped in an
optical tweezer, and is immersed in a bath of Rb atoms at ultralow temperatures. In this …

Optical lattices and Feshbach resonances are two of the most ubiquitously used tools in
atomic physics, allowing for the precise control, discrete confinement, and broad tunability of …

We predict the existence of stable bound states between pairs of ultracold diatomic
molecules with the aid of a static electric field and 1D harmonic confinement. We focus on …

Optical tweezer arrays are useful tools for manipulating single atoms and molecules. An
exciting avenue for research with optical tweezers is using the interactions between polar …

Pairs of free particles cannot form bound states in elastic collision due to momentum and
energy conservation. In many ultracold experiments, however, the particles collide in the …

Hybrid quantum systems aim to leverage the strengths of different platforms to advance
quantum science. This thesis presents the development of a hybrid system of ultracold …

Ultracold heteronuclear molecules distinguish themselves for the presence of long-range
tunable dipolar interactions. These are of interest for the investigation of exotic phases of …
