Mapping the parameter space of double microwave shielding
Hubert J. Jóźwiak, Hubert J. Jóźwiak, Ian Stevenson +2
Double microwave shielding employs - and -polarized microwave fields, tuned close to the lowest rotational transition, to engineer a long-range repulsive barrier between…
Strongly dipolar molecular Bose-Einstein condensates: From few- to many-body physics
Andreas Schindewolf, Jens Hertkorn, Ian Stevenson +8
Recent advances in molecular cooling have enabled the realization of strongly dipolar Bose--Einstein condensates (BECs) of molecules, and BECs of many different molecular species m…
Low-entropy arrays of microwave-shielded molecules prepared by interaction blockade
Tijs Karman, Sebastian Will, Zoe Yan
Ultracold molecules are becoming an increasingly important technology for quantum simulation, computation, and sensing, but their state preparation in large, low-entropy arrays rem…
Observation of Self-Bound Droplets of Ultracold Dipolar Molecules
Siwei Zhang, Weijun Yuan, Niccolò Bigagli +4
Ultracold gases of dipolar molecules have long been envisioned as a platform for the realization of novel quantum phases. Recent advances in collisional shielding, protecting molec…
Double Microwave Shielding
Tijs Karman, Niccolò Bigagli, Weijun Yuan +3
We develop double microwave shielding, which has recently enabled evaporative cooling to the first Bose-Einstein condensate of polar molecules [Bigagli et al., Nature 631, 289 (202…
Extreme Loss Suppression and Wide Tunability of Dipolar Interactions in an Ultracold Molecular Gas
Weijun Yuan, Siwei Zhang, Niccolò Bigagli +5
Ultracold dipolar molecules hold great promise for the creation of novel quantum states of matter, but the realization of long-lived molecular bulk samples with strong dipole-dipol…
