Quantum sensing and metrology use coherent superposition states of quantum systems to
detect and measure physical effects of interest. Their sensitivity is typically limited by the …

In the search for clues to the matter–antimatter puzzle, experiments with atoms or molecules
play a particular role. These systems allow measurements with very high precision, as …

Ultracold polar molecules combine a rich structure of long-lived internal states with access to
controllable long-range anisotropic dipole–dipole interactions. In particular, the rotational …

The applications of spin-based quantum sensors to measurements probing fundamental
physics are surveyed. Experimental methods and technologies developed for spin-based …

We systematically study a set of strongly polar heteronuclear diatomic molecules composed
of laser-coolable atoms for their suitability as sensitive probes of new charge-parity violation …

The LiFr diatomic represents a promising candidate for indirect laser cooling that has not yet
been investigated not theoretically or experimentally. The potential energy curves of the …

In this work, the molecular enhancement factors of the P, T-odd interactions involving the
electron electric dipole moment (W d) and the scalar–pseudoscalar nucleon–electron …

Ultracold diatomic molecules find application in quantum studies ranging from controlled
chemistry and precision measurement physics to quantum many-body simulation and …

The experimental field of ultracold ion-atom mixtures including an alkali-metal atom and an
alkaline-earth-metal ion as well as of homonuclear alkali dimers has paved the way for …

Alkaline-earth and alkali-metal mixtures have an electronic structure that is perfect for laser
cooling. This makes them highly attractive for trapping and laser cooling experiments …
