Cooling atoms to ultralow temperatures has produced a wealth of opportunities in
fundamental physics, precision metrology, and quantum science. The more recent …

Compared to atoms, molecules possess additional degrees of freedom that can be exploited
in fundamental tests, ultracold chemistry, and engineering new quantum phases in many …

In contrast to light, matter-wave optics of quantum gases deals with interactions even in free
space and for ensembles comprising millions of atoms. We exploit these interactions in a …

We report three-dimensional trapping of an oxide molecule (YO), using a radio-frequency
magneto-optical trap (MOT). The total number of molecules trapped is∼ 1.5× 10 4, with a …

An overview of the physics of spinor and dipolar Bose–Einstein condensates (BECs) is
given. Mean-field ground states, Bogoliubov spectra, and many-body ground and excited …

This paper reviews the recent theoretical and experimental advances in the study of ultra-
cold gases made of bosonic particles interacting via the long-range, anisotropic dipole …

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 …

This review is concerned with the physics and chemistry associated with the interactions,
collisions, and reactions of ultracold molecules, that is, molecules having translational …

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 …

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 …
