We consider the magnetically tunable Feshbach resonances that may exist in ultracold mixtures of molecules in 2Σmstates and alkali-metal atoms. We focus on Rb +CaF as a prototype system. There are likely to be Feshbach resonances analogous to those b... Read More about Tunable Feshbach resonances in collisions of ultracold molecules in 2Σ states with alkali-metal atoms.

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.
