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 …

Progress on research in the field of molecules at cold and ultracold temperatures is reported
in this review. It covers extensively the experimental methods to produce, detect and …

A quantum gas of ultracold polar molecules, with long-range and anisotropic interactions,
not only would enable explorations of a large class of many-body physics phenomena but …

Ultracold LiCs molecules in the absolute ground state X Σ+ 1, v′′= 0, J′′= 0 are formed
via a single photoassociation step starting from laser-cooled atoms. The selective production …

We report on the direct conversion of laser-cooled K 41 and Rb 87 atoms into ultracold K 41
Rb 87 molecules in the rovibrational ground state via photoassociation followed by …

A comprehensive study of the electronic states at the 4 s+ 5 s asymptote in KRb is
presented. Abundant spectroscopic data on the a Σ+ 3 state were collected by Fourier …

We review our experimental progress toward achieving the production of quantum
degenerate bosonic polar molecules, 41 K 87 Rb. Our primary goal is to transfer quantum …

We report the production of ultracold RbCs molecules in the rovibronic ground state, ie, X 1
Σ+(v= 0, J= 0), by short-range photoassociation to the 2 3 Π 0 state followed by spontaneous …

In this paper, we study the realization of lattice models in mixtures of atomic and dipolar
molecular quantum gases. We consider a situation where polar molecules form a self …

Ultracold diatomic molecules find application in quantum studies ranging from controlled
chemistry and precision measurement physics to quantum many-body simulation and …
