Observation of Bose-Einstein Condensation of Dipolar Molecules
Niccolò Bigagli, Weijun Yuan, Siwei Zhang +4
Ensembles of particles governed by quantum mechanical laws exhibit fascinating emergent behavior. Atomic quantum gases, liquid helium, and electrons in quantum materials all show d…
Automated Graph-Based Detection of Quantum Control Schemes: Application to Molecular Laser Cooling
Anna Dawid, Niccolò Bigagli, Daniel W. Savin +1
One of the demanding frontiers in ultracold quantum science is identifying laser cooling schemes for complex atoms and molecules out of their vast spectra of internal states. Motiv…
Laser Scheme for Doppler Cooling of the Hydroxyl Cation (OH)
Niccolò Bigagli, Daniel W. Savin, Sebastian Will
We report on a cycling scheme for Doppler cooling of trapped OH ions using transitions between the electronic ground state and the first excited triplet state .…
A planar cloverleaf antenna for the creation of circularly polarized microwave fields
Weijun Yuan, Siwei Zhang, Niccolò Bigagli +3
We report on the design and characterization of a compact microwave antenna for atomic and molecular physics experiments. The antenna is comprised of four loop antennas arranged in…
Collisionally Stable Gas of Bosonic Dipolar Ground State Molecules
Niccolò Bigagli, Claire Warner, Weijun Yuan +4
Stable ultracold ensembles of dipolar molecules hold great promise for many-body quantum physics, but high inelastic loss rates have been a long-standing challenge. Recently, it wa…
Efficient Pathway to NaCs Ground State Molecules
Claire Warner, Niccolò Bigagli, Aden Z. Lam +4
We present a study of two-photon pathways for the transfer of NaCs molecules to their rovibrational ground state. Starting from NaCs Feshbach molecules, we perform bound-bound exci…
