The last few years have seen rapid progress in the application of laser cooling to molecules.
In this review, we examine what kinds of molecules can be laser cooled, how to design a …

Collisions of molecules in a thermal gas are difficult to control. Thermal motion randomizes
molecular encounters and diminishes the effects of external radiation or static …

Ultracold molecules offer unprecedented opportunities for the controlled interrogation of
molecular events, including chemical reactivity in the ultimate quantum regime. 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 …

The goal of the present article is to review the major developments that have led to the
current understanding of molecule–field interactions and experimental methods for …

This article reviews the current state of the art in the field of cold and ultracold molecules and
demonstrates that chemical reactions, inelastic collisions and dissociation of molecules at …

We prepare mixtures of ultracold CaF molecules and Rb atoms in a magnetic trap and study
their inelastic collisions. When the atoms are prepared in the spin-stretched state and the …

A theory for quantum-mechanical calculations of cross sections for atom-molecule and
molecular collisions in a magnetic field is presented. The formalism is based on the …

A tutorial for calculating the response of molecules to electric and magnetic fields with
examples from research in ultracold physics, controlled chemistry, and molecular collisions …
