Cold polar molecules in 2D traps: Tailoring interactions with external fields for novel quantum phases
arXiv:quant-ph/0703031 · doi:10.1103/PhysRevA.76.043604
Abstract
We discuss techniques to engineer effective long-range interactions between polar molecules using external static electric and microwave fields. We consider a setup where molecules are trapped in a two-dimensional pancake geometry by a far-off-resonance optical trap, which ensures the stability of the dipolar collisions. We detail how to modify the shape and the strength of the long-range part of interaction potentials, which can be utilized to realize interesting quantum phases in the context of cold molecular gases.
