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

Polar molecules have bright prospects for novel quantum gases with long-range and
anisotropic interactions, and could find uses in quantum information science and in …

We report on the creation of an ultracold dipolar gas of fermionic Na 23 K 40 molecules in
their absolute rovibrational and hyperfine ground state. Starting from weakly bound …

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 …

We produce ultracold dense trapped samples of Rb 87 Cs 133 molecules in their
rovibrational ground state, with full nuclear hyperfine state control, by stimulated Raman …

We propose a mechanism to produce ultracold polar molecules with microwave fields. It
converts trapped ultracold atoms into vibrationally excited molecules by a single microwave …

We report on the creation of bosonic NaCs molecules in their absolute rovibrational ground
state via stimulated Raman adiabatic passage. We create ultracold gases with up to 22 000 …

The brand new field of ultracold polar molecules is motivated by the success of ultracold
atoms. Ultracold atomic gases have provided many exciting and diverse applications …

We investigate the effect of far-off-resonant trapping light on ultracold bosonic Rb 87 Cs 133
molecules. We use kHz-precision microwave spectroscopy to measure the differential ac …
