Quantum suppression of cold reactions far from the s-wave energy limit
Or Katz, Meirav Pinkas, Nitzan Akerman +2
Quantum effects in chemical reactions are most pronounced at ultracold temperatures, where only a few partial waves contribute. While interference among many partial waves is theor…

Quantum control of ion-atom collisions beyond the ultracold regime
Maks Z. Walewski, Matthew D. Frye, Or Katz +3
Tunable scattering resonances are crucial for controlling atomic and molecular systems. However, their use has so far been limited to ultracold temperatures. These conditions remai…

Chaotic scattering in ultracold atom-ion collisions
Meirav Pinkas, Jonathan Wengrowicz, Nitzan Akerman +1
We report on signatures of classical chaos in ultracold collisions between a trapped ion and a free atom. Using numerical simulations, we show that the scattering dynamics can be h…
