We demonstrate the formation of a single RbCs molecule during the merging of two optical tweezers, one containing a single Rb atom and the other a single Cs atom. Both atoms are initially predominantly in the motional ground states of their respectiv... Read More about Formation of Ultracold Molecules by Merging Optical Tweezers.
