Magneto-Optical Trapping of a Metal Hydride Molecule
Jinyu Dai, Benjamin Riley, Qi Sun +2
We demonstrate a three-dimensional magneto-optical trap (MOT) of a metal hydride molecule, CaH. We are able to scatter photons with vibrational loss covered up to vi…
Chemistry in a Cryogenic Buffer Gas Cell
Qi Sun, Jinyu Dai, Rian Koots +4
Cryogenic buffer gas sources are ubiquitous for producing cold, collimated molecular beams for quantum science, chemistry, and precision measurements. The molecules are typically p…
Ground-state selection via many-body superradiant decay
Wai-Keong Mok, Stuart J. Masson, Dan M. Stamper-Kurn +2
For a single particle, relaxation into different ground states is governed by fixed branching ratios determined by the transition matrix element and the environment. Here, we show…
Searching for New Fundamental Interactions via Isotopic Shifts in Molecular Lattice Clocks
E. Tiberi, M. Borkowski, B. Iritani +2
Precision measurements with ultracold atoms and molecules are primed to probe beyond-the-Standard Model physics. Isotopologues of homonuclear molecules are a natural testbed for ne…
Laser cooling of a fermionic molecule
Jinyu Dai, Qi Sun, Benjamin C. Riley +2
Only bosonic molecular species have been directly laser cooled to date, primarily due to an abundance of bosonic isotopes in nature and to their simpler hyperfine structure. Fermio…
