Dipolar evaporation of reactive molecules to below the Fermi temperature
Giacomo Valtolina, Kyle Matsuda, William G. Tobias +3
Molecules are the building blocks of matter and their control is key to the investigation of new quantum phases, where rich degrees of freedom can be used to encode information and…
Quantum Many-Body Physics with Ultracold Polar Molecules: Nanostructured Potential Barriers and Interactions
Andreas Kruckenhauser, Lukas M. Sieberer, William G. Tobias +8
We design dipolar quantum many-body Hamiltonians that will facilitate the realization of exotic quantum phases under current experimental conditions achieved for polar molecules. T…
Thermalization and Sub-Poissonian Density Fluctuations in a Degenerate Molecular Fermi Gas
William G. Tobias, Kyle Matsuda, Giacomo Valtolina +3
We observe thermalization in the production of a degenerate Fermi gas of polar molecules. By measuring the atom--dimer elastic scattering cross se…
Floquet Heating in Interacting Atomic Gases with an Oscillating Force
Jun-Ru Li, Boris Shteynas, Wolfgang Ketterle
We theoretically investigate the collisional heating of a cold atom system subjected to time-periodic forces. We show within the Floquet framework that this heating rate due to two…
