Feshbach resonances in ultracold gases

C Chin, R Grimm, P Julienne, E Tiesinga - Reviews of Modern Physics, 2010 - APS
Feshbach resonances are the essential tool to control the interaction between atoms in
ultracold quantum gases. They have found numerous experimental applications, opening up …

Ultracold molecules under control!

G Quemener, PS Julienne - Chemical Reviews, 2012 - ACS Publications
This review is concerned with the physics and chemistry associated with the interactions,
collisions, and reactions of ultracold molecules, that is, molecules having translational …
