Polar molecules offer a new platform for quantum simulation of systems with long-range interactions, based on the electrostatic interaction between their electric dipole moments. Here, we report the development of coherent quantum state control using... Read More about Ultracold molecules for quantum simulation: rotational coherence in CaF and RbCs.

Near-threshold bound states of the dipole-dipole interaction (2018)
Journal Article

We study the two-body bound states of a model Hamiltonian that describes the interaction between two field-oriented dipole moments. This model has been used extensively in the many-body physics of ultracold polar molecules and magnetic atoms, but its...

Microwave Shielding of Ultracold Polar Molecules (2018)
Journal Article

We use microwaves to engineer repulsive long-range interactions between ultracold polar molecules. The resulting shielding suppresses various loss mechanisms and provides large elastic cross sections. Hyperfine interactions limit the shielding under...

We report the production of ultracold heteronuclear Cs∗ Yb molecules through one-photon photoassociation applied to an ultracold atomic mixture of Cs and Yb confined in an optical dipole trap. We use trap-loss spectroscopy to detect molecular states... Read More about Production of ultracold Cs*Yb molecules by photoassociation.
