Compared to atoms, molecules possess additional degrees of freedom that can be exploited
in fundamental tests, ultracold chemistry, and engineering new quantum phases in many …

Quantum states with long-lived coherence are essential for quantum computation,
simulation and metrology. The nuclear spin states of ultracold molecules prepared in the …

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 …

We demonstrate Rydberg blockade due to the charge-dipole interaction between a single
Rb atom and a single RbCs molecule confined in optical tweezers. The molecule is formed …

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 …

Control over the quantum states of individual molecules is crucial in the quest to harness
their rich internal structure and dipolar interactions for applications in quantum science. In …

Understanding ultracold collisions involving molecules is of fundamental importance for
current experiments, where inelastic collisions typically limit the lifetime of molecular …

We demonstrate the transfer of Na 23 K 40 molecules from a closed-channel-dominated
Feshbach-molecule state to the absolute ground state. The Feshbach molecules are initially …

We demonstrate coherent control of the rotational and hyperfine state of ultracold,
chemically stable Rb 87 Cs 133 molecules with external microwave fields. We create a …
