Identical-Particle Symmetry-Enabled Complete Coherent Control of Ultracold Atomic and Molecular Collisions

Jing-Chen Zhang, Adrien Devolder, Timur V. Tscherbul +2

We show that exchange symmetry in collisions of identical particles enables symmetry-protected coherent control of the total scattering cross section. For identical fermions, antis…

Characterization of Feshbach resonances in using improved interaction potentials

Jing-Chen Zhang, Paul Julienne, Yu Liu

We characterize Feshbach resonances in all isotopologues of the system with improved interaction potentials. Starting from spectroscopically accurate Mo…

A model for nuclear spin product-state distributions of ultracold chemical reactions in magnetic fields

Goulven Quéméner, Ming-Guang Hu, Yu Liu +3

Based on a theoretical model where the nuclear spins remain unchanged during a collision, we provide an analytical and general expression for the nuclear spin state-to-state distri…

Bimolecular chemistry in the ultracold regime

Yu Liu, Kang-Kuen Ni

Advances in atomic, molecular, and optical (AMO) physics techniques allowed the cooling of simple molecules down to the ultracold regime ( 1 mK), and opened the opportuni…
