Accurate Determination of Blackbody Radiation Shifts in a Strontium Molecular Lattice Clock
B. Iritani, E. Tiberi, W. Skomorowski +3
Molecular lattice clocks enable the search for new physics, such as fifth forces or temporal variations of fundamental constants, in a manner complementary to atomic clocks. Blackb…
Observation of the P-wave Shape Resonance
Baruch Margulis, Prerna Paliwal, Wojciech Skomorowski +3
Partial wave resonances are quasi-bound states that are formed by tunneling through the centrifugal barrier. Such states are important to collisions that deviate from the Langevin…
Phase protection of Fano-Feshbach resonances
Alexander Blech, Yuval Shagam, Nicolas Hölsch +8
Decay of bound states due to coupling with free particle states is a general phenomenon occurring at energy scales from MeV in nuclear physics to peV in ultracold atomic gases. Suc…
Photoassociation spectroscopy in Penning ionization reactions at sub-Kelvin temperatures
Wojciech Skomorowski, Yuval Shagam, Edvardas Narevicius +1
Penning ionization reactions in merged beams with precisely controlled collision energies have been shown to accurately probe quantum mechanical effects in reactive collisions. A c…
Coherent control of bond making: The performance of rationally phase-shaped femtosecond laser pulses
Liat Levin, Wojciech Skomorowski, Ronnie Kosloff +2
The first step in the coherent control of a photoinduced binary reaction is bond making or photoassociation. We have recently demonstrated coherent control of bond making in multi-…
Control of Optical Transitions with Magnetic Fields in Weakly Bound Molecules
B. H. McGuyer, M. McDonald, G. Z. Iwata +3
In weakly bound diatomic molecules, energy levels are closely spaced and thus more susceptible to mixing by magnetic fields than in the constituent atoms. We use this effect to con…
Coherent Control of Bond Making
Liat Levin, Wojciech Skomorowski, Leonid Rybak +3
We demonstrate for the first time coherent control of bond making, a milestone on the way to coherent control of photo-induced bimolecular chemical reactions. In strong-field multi…
Optical Kerr and Cotton-Mouton effects in atomic gases: a quantum-statistical study
Wojciech Skomorowski, Robert Moszynski
Theory of the birefringence of the refractive index in atomic diamagnetic dilute gases in the presence of static electric (optical Kerr effect) and magnetic (Cotton-Mouton effect)…
Interatomic potentials, electric properties, and spectroscopy of the ground and excited states of the Rb_2 molecule: Ab initio calculations and effect of a non-resonant field
Michał Tomza, Wojciech Skomorowski, Monika Musiał +3
We formulate the theory for a diatomic molecule in a spatially degenerate electronic state interacting with a non-resonant laser field and investigate its rovibrational structure i…
Formation of deeply bound ultracold Sr_2 molecules by photoassociation near the ^1S + ^3P_1 intercombination line
Wojciech Skomorowski, Robert Moszynski, Christiane P. Koch
We predict feasibility of the photoassociative formation of Sr_2 molecules in arbitrary vibrational levels of the electronic ground state based on state-of-the-art ab initio calcul…
Prospects for sympathetic cooling of molecules in electrostatic, ac and microwave traps
S. K. Tokunaga, Wojciech Skomorowski, Piotr S. Żuchowski +4
We consider how trapped molecules can be sympathetically cooled by ultracold atoms. As a prototypical system, we study LiH molecules co-trapped with ultracold Li atoms. We calculat…
Sympathetic cooling of the Ba ion by collisions with ultracold Rb atoms: theoretical prospects
Michał Krych, Wojciech Skomorowski, Filip Pawłowski +2
State-of-the-art {\em ab initio} techniques have been applied to compute the potential energy curves of the (BaRb) molecular ion in the Born-Oppenheimer approximation. The long…
