The technique of stimulated Raman adiabatic passage (STIRAP), which allows efficient and selective population transfer between quantum states without suffering loss due to …
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 …
We report the successful production of an ultracold sample of absolute ground-state Na 23 Rb 87 molecules. Starting from weakly bound Feshbach molecules formed via …
Laser cooling and trapping are central to modern atomic physics. The most used technique in cold-atom physics is the magneto-optical trap (MOT), which combines laser cooling with a …
In recent years, an increasingly large variety of molecular species have been successfully cooled to low energies, and innovative techniques continue to emerge to reach ever more …
We report three-dimensional trapping of an oxide molecule (YO), using a radio-frequency magneto-optical trap (MOT). The total number of molecules trapped is∼ 1.5× 10 4, with a …
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 …
