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

Photoassociation of molecules out of an ultracold gas was thefirst successful approach to
create a gas of molecules in the electronic ground state at translational temperatures in the …

We report the creation of a sample of over 1000 ultracold Rb 87 Cs 133 molecules in the
lowest rovibrational ground state, from an atomic mixture of Rb 87 and Cs 133, by …

The phenomenon of Bose–Einstein condensation is a phase transition originally predicted
by Bose and Einstein in 1924. In particular, it was shown that below a critical temperature T …

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 …

Polar molecules offer a new platform for quantum simulation of systems with long-range
interactions, based on the electrostatic interaction between their electric dipole moments …

The aim of this introductory article is two-fold. First, we aim to offer a general introduction to
the theme of Bose-Einstein condensates, and briefly discuss the evolution of a number of …

We show that the lifetime of ultracold ground-state Rb 87 Cs 133 molecules in an optical trap
is limited by fast optical excitation of long-lived two-body collision complexes. We partially …

The miscibility of two interacting quantum systems is an important testing ground for the
understanding of complex quantum systems. Two-component Bose-Einstein condensates …

We have studied interspecies scattering in an ultracold mixture of 87 Rb and 133 Cs atoms,
both in their lowest-energy spin states. The three-body loss signatures of 30 incoming s-and …
