Quantum-State Controlled Chemical Reactions of Ultracold KRb Molecules
S. Ospelkaus, K. -K. Ni, D. Wang +7
How does a chemical reaction proceed at ultralow temperatures? Can simple quantum mechanical rules such as quantum statistics, single scattering partial waves, and quantum threshol…
Critical superfluid velocity in a trapped dipolar gas
Ryan M. Wilson, Shai Ronen, John L. Bohn
We investigate the superfluid properties of a dipolar Bose-Einstein condensate (BEC) in a fully three-dimensional trap. Specifically, we calculate a superfluid critical velocity fo…
Berry-like phases in structured atoms and molecules
Edmund R. Meyer, Aaron Leanhardt, Eric Cornell +1
Quantum mechanical phases arising from a periodically varying Hamiltonian are considered. These phases are derived from the eigenvalues of a stationary, ``dressed'' Hamiltonian tha…
Controlling the hyperfine state of rovibronic ground-state polar molecules
S. Ospelkaus, K. -K. Ni, G. Quemener +6
Ultracold molecules offer entirely new possibilities for the control of quantum processes due to their rich internal structure. Recently, near quantum degenerate gases of molecules…
Electron EDM searches based on alkali or alkaline earth bearing molecules
Edmund R. Meyer, John L. Bohn
We introduce four new molecules -- YbRb, YbCs, YbSr, and YbBa -- that may prove fruitful in experimental searches for the electric dipole moment (EDM) of the electron. Thes…
Zero Sound in Dipolar Fermi Gases
Shai Ronen, John L. Bohn
We study the propagation of sound in a homogeneous dipolar gas at zero temperature, known as zero sound. We find that undamped sound propagation is possible only in a range of soli…
