Single atoms and molecules can be trapped in tightly focused beams of light that form
'optical tweezers', affording exquisite capabilities for the control and detection of individual …

In the field of quantum simulation of condensed matter phenomena by artificially
engineering the Hamiltonian of an atomic, molecular or optical system, the concept of …

The angular momentum of molecules, or, equivalently, their rotation in three-dimensional
space, is ideally suited for quantum control. Molecular angular momentum is naturally …

We construct quantum error-correcting codes that embed a finite-dimensional code space in
the infinite-dimensional Hilbert space of rotational states of a rigid body. These codes, which …

Ultracold molecules confined in optical lattices or tweezer traps can be used to process
quantum information and simulate the behaviour of many-body quantum systems. Molecules …

Polar molecules confined in an optical lattice are a versatile platform to explore spin-motion
dynamics based on strong, long-range dipolar interactions,. The precise tunability of Ising …

Chemical reactions typically proceed via stochastic encounters between reactants. Going
beyond this paradigm, we combined exactly two atoms in a single, controlled reaction. The …

The last few years have seen rapid progress in the application of laser cooling to molecules.
In this review, we examine what kinds of molecules can be laser cooled, how to design a …

A discrete degree of freedom can be engineered to match the Hamiltonian of particles
moving in a real-space lattice potential. Such synthetic dimensions are powerful tools for …

Quantum states with long-lived coherence are essential for quantum computation,
simulation and metrology. The nuclear spin states of ultracold molecules prepared in the …
