Electrostriction in a Bose-Einstein Condensate of Dipolar Molecules
Haneul Kwak, Ian Stevenson, Weijun Yuan +5
The recent creation of a Bose-Einstein condensate (BEC) of dipolar molecules has opened a new frontier for many-body quantum systems in which dipolar interactions can drive novel s…
Mapping the parameter space of double microwave shielding
Hubert J. Jóźwiak, Ian Stevenson, Sebastian Will +1
Double microwave shielding employs - and -polarized microwave fields, tuned close to the lowest rotational transition, to engineer a long-range repulsive barrier between…
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…
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…
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…
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…
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…
Three-Body Recombination of Ultracold Microwave-Shielded Polar Molecules
Ian Stevenson, Shayamal Singh, Ahmed Elkamshishy +5
A combined experimental and theoretical study is carried out on the three-body recombination process in a gas of microwave-shielded polar molecules. For ground-state polar molecule…
Dressed-State Spectroscopy and Magic Trapping of Microwave-Shielded NaCs Molecules
Siwei Zhang, Weijun Yuan, Niccolò Bigagli +3
We report on the optical polarizability of microwave-shielded ultracold NaCs molecules in an optical dipole trap. While dressing a pair of rotational states with a microwave field,…
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…
