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 …

Cavity-enhanced direct frequency comb spectroscopy combines broad spectral bandwidth,
high spectral resolution, precise frequency calibration, and ultrahigh detection sensitivity, all …

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 the use of an optical frequency comb to coherently control and entangle
atomic qubits. A train of off-resonant ultrafast laser pulses is used to efficiently and …

This review summarizes progress in coherent control as well as relevant recent
achievements, highlighting, among several different schemes of coherent control, wave …

Advances in Quantum Chemistry presents surveys of current topics in this rapidly
developing field that has emerged at the cross section of the historically established areas of …

Ultracold polar molecular gases promise new directions and exciting applications in
collisions and chemical reactions at ultralow energies, precision measurements, novel …

We demonstrate the use of a femtosecond frequency comb to coherently drive stimulated
Raman transitions between terahertz-spaced atomic energy levels. More specifically, we …

This article gives an introduction to the realization of effective quantum magnetism with
ultracold molecules in an optical lattice, reviews experimental and theoretical progress, and …

Preparing molecules at rest and in a very pure quantum state is a long-standing aspiration in
chemistry and physics, so far achieved only for a select set of molecules in dedicated …
