Steering ultracold reactions through long-lived transient intermediates
Yu Liu, Ming-Guang Hu, Matthew A. Nichols +4
Controlling the pathways and outcomes of reactions is a broadly pursued goal in chemistry. In gas phase reactions, this is typically achieved by manipulating the properties of the…
Direct observation of bimolecular reactions of ultracold KRb molecules
Ming-Guang Hu, Yu Liu, David D. Grimes +7
Femtochemistry techniques have been instrumental in accessing the short time scales necessary to probe transient intermediates in chemical reactions. Here we take the contrasting a…
Dipolar Exchange Quantum Logic Gate with Polar Molecules
Kang-Kuen Ni, Till Rosenband, David D. Grimes
We propose a two-qubit gate based on dipolar exchange interactions between individually addressable ultracold polar molecules in an array of optical dipole traps. Our proposal trea…
Elliptical polarization for molecular Stark shift compensation in deep optical traps
Till Rosenband, David D. Grimes, Kang-Kuen Ni
In optical dipole traps, the excited rotational states of a molecule may experience a very different light shift than the ground state. For particles with two polarizability compon…
