Tuning of dipolar interactions and evaporative cooling in a three-dimensional molecular quantum gas
Jun-Ru Li, William G. Tobias, Kyle Matsuda +8
Ultracold polar molecules possess long-range, anisotropic, and tunable dipolar interactions, providing the opportunities to probe quantum phenomena inaccessible with existing cold…

Direct Laser Cooling of a Symmetric Top Molecule
Debayan Mitra, Nathaniel B. Vilas, Christian Hallas +6
We report direct laser cooling of a symmetric top molecule, reducing the transverse temperature of a beam of calcium monomethoxide (CaOCH) to mK while addressing tw…

Laser-Cooled Polyatomic Molecules for Improved Electron Electric Dipole Moment Searches
Benjamin L. Augenbraun, Zack D. Lasner, Alexander Frenett +4
Doppler and Sisyphus cooling of YbOH are achieved and studied. This polyatomic molecule has high sensitivity to physics beyond the Standard Model and represents a new class…
