Quantum control of molecular rotation

CP Koch, M Lemeshko, D Sugny - Reviews of Modern Physics, 2019 - APS
The angular momentum of molecules, or, equivalently, their rotation in three-dimensional
space, is ideally suited for quantum control. Molecular angular momentum is naturally …

Causality and the effective range expansion

HW Hammer, D Lee - Annals of Physics, 2010 - Elsevier
We derive the generalization of Wigner's causality bounds and Bethe's integral formula for
the effective range parameter to arbitrary dimension and arbitrary angular momentum. We …

Dispersion interactions and reactive collisions of ultracold polar molecules

S Kotochigova - New Journal of Physics, 2010 - iopscience.iop.org
Progress in ultracold experiments with polar molecules requires a clear understanding of
their interactions and reactivity at ultralow collisional energies. Two important theoretical …

Precise quantum measurement of vacuum with cold atoms

DS Barker, BP Acharya, JA Fedchak… - Review of Scientific …, 2022 - pubs.aip.org
We describe the cold-atom vacuum standards (CAVS) under development at the National

Universal model for exoergic bimolecular reactions and inelastic processes

B Gao - Physical review letters, 2010 - APS
From a rigorous multichannel quantum-defect formulation of bimolecular processes, we
derive a fully quantal and analytic model for the total rate of exoergic bimolecular reactions …

Elastic and glancing-angle rate coefficients for heating of ultracold Li and Rb atoms by collisions with room-temperature noble gases, H2, and N2

J Kłos, E Tiesinga - The Journal of Chemical Physics, 2023 - pubs.aip.org
Trapped ultracold alkali-metal atoms can be used to measure pressure in the ultra-high-
vacuum and XHV pressure regimes, those with p< 10− 6 Pa. This application for ultracold …
