Photon Cycling and Laser Cooling of an Asymmetric Top Molecule

Grace K. Li, Giseok Lee, Jack Mango +8

We realize two-dimensional magnetically-assisted Sisyphus laser cooling of an asymmetric top molecule (ATM), calcium monoamide (CaNH). Vibrational state closure is achieved wit…

Quantum-State-Controlled Collisions of Ultracold Polyatomic Molecules

Nathaniel B. Vilas, Paige Robichaud, Christian Hallas +7

Collisions between ultracold calcium monohydroxide (CaOH) molecules are realized and studied. Inelastic collision rate constants are measured for CaOH prepared in ground and excite…

Conveyor-belt magneto-optical trapping of molecules

Grace K. Li, Christian Hallas, John M. Doyle

Laser cooling is used to produce ultracold atoms and molecules for quantum science and precision measurement applications. Molecules are more challenging to cool than atoms due to…

A conveyor-belt magneto-optical trap of CaF

Scarlett S. Yu, Jiaqi You, Yicheng Bao +8

We report the experimental realization of a conveyor-belt magneto-optical trap for calcium monofluoride (CaF) molecules. The obtained highly-compressed cloud has a mean radius of 6…

High Compression Blue-Detuned Magneto-Optical Trap of Polyatomic Molecules

Christian Hallas, Grace K. Li, Nathaniel B. Vilas +3

We demonstrate a blue-detuned magneto-optical trap (MOT) of a polyatomic molecule, calcium monohydroxide (CaOH). We identify a novel MOT frequency configuration that produces high…

An optical tweezer array of ultracold polyatomic molecules

Nathaniel B. Vilas, Paige Robichaud, Christian Hallas +3

Polyatomic molecules have rich structural features that make them uniquely suited to applications in quantum information science, quantum simulation, ultracold chemistry, and searc…
