The realization of Bose Einstein condensates (BEC) and quantum degenerate Fermi gases
with cold atoms has been a highlight of quantum physics during the past decade. Cold …

1. INTRODUCTION Beams of atoms and molecules are stalwart tools for spectroscopy and
studies of collisional processes. 1− 4 The supersonic expansion technique can create cold …

We perform magnetically assisted Sisyphus laser cooling of the triatomic free radical
strontium monohydroxide (SrOH). This is achieved with principal optical cycling in the …

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 …

It has been roughly three decades since laser cooling techniques produced ultracold
atoms,,, leading to rapid advances in a wide array of fields. Laser cooling has not yet been …

We propose a novel physical realization of a quantum computer. The qubits are electric
dipole moments of ultracold diatomic molecules, oriented along or against an external …

Photoassociation is the process in which two colliding atoms absorb a photon to form an
excited molecule. The development of laser-cooling techniques for producing gases at …

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 …

Unter allen Messgrößen ist die Frequenz diejenige, die mit dem höchsten Grad an
Sicherheit bestimmt werden kann. Damit sind auch präzise Messungen von anderen …

We have observed Bose-Einstein condensation of molecules. When a spin mixture of
fermionic L i 6 atoms was evaporatively cooled in an optical dipole trap near a Feshbach …
