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 …

Collisions of molecules in a thermal gas are difficult to control. Thermal motion randomizes
molecular encounters and diminishes the effects of external radiation or static …

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 …

We demonstrate slowing and longitudinal cooling of a supersonic beam of CaF molecules
using counterpropagating laser light resonant with a closed rotational and almost-closed …

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 …

We demonstrate the production of ultracold polar RbCs molecules in their vibronic ground
state, via photoassociation of laser-cooled atoms followed by a laser-stimulated state …

We investigate a hybrid quantum circuit where ensembles of cold polar molecules serve as
long-lived quantum memories and optical interfaces for solid state quantum processors. The …

We show how ultracold polar molecules, suggested as a new platform for quantum
computation, can be manipulated to switch “on” and “off” their strong dipole-dipole …

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 …
