A diversity of experimental techniques has been developed over the last 25 years to create
samples of molecular gases at temperatures close to the Absolute Zero—here we consider …

At temperatures close to absolute zero, the molecular reactions and collisions are
dominantly governed by quantum mechanics. Remarkable quantum phenomena such as …

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

We study the evolution of a cold single BaRb+ molecule while it continuously collides with
ultracold Rb atoms. The initially weakly bound molecule can undergo a sequence of elastic …

The spectra (rotational, rotation–vibrational or electronic) of diatomic molecules due to
transitions involving only closed-shell (1 Σ) electronic states follow very regular, simple …

We report the creation of ultracold ground state Li 6 K 40 polar molecules with high
efficiency. Starting from weakly bound molecules, stimulated Raman adiabatic passage is …

During the past 70 years, the quantum theory of angular momentum has been successfully
applied to describing the properties of nuclei, atoms, and molecules, and their interactions …

This chapter focuses on the application of controlled‐molecule techniques for precise
studies of ion‐molecule reactions in the gas phase. It gives an overview of the most …

Chainwise stimulated Raman adiabatic passage (C-STIRAP) in a M-type molecular system
is a good alternative in creating ultracold deeply bound molecules when the typical STIRAP …

We theoretically investigate the prospects for photoassociation (PA) of Rb 3, in particular at
close range. We provide an overview of accessible states and possible transitions. The …
