Dynamic dipole polarizabilities of heteronuclear alkali dimers: optical response, trapping and control of ultracold molecules
R. Vexiau, D. Borsalino, M. Lepers +4
In this article we address the general approach for calculating dynamical dipole polarizabilities of small quantum systems, based on a sum-over-states formula involving in principl…
Formation of molecular ions by radiative association of cold trapped atoms and ions
Humberto Da Silva, Maurice Raoult, Mireille Aymar +1
Radiative emission during cold collisions between trapped laser-cooled Rb atoms and alkaline-earth ions (Ca, Sr, Ba) and Yb, and between Li and Yb, are studied…
Long-range interactions between polar bialkali ground-state molecules in arbitrary vibrational levels
R. Vexiau, M. Lepers, M. Aymar +2
We have calculated the isotropic coefficients characterizing the long-range van der Waals interaction between two identical heteronuclear alkali-metal diatomic molecules in…
Statistical Mechanics Derived From Quantum Mechanics
Yu-Lei Feng, Yi-Xin Chen
A pedagogical derivation of statistical mechanics from quantum mechanics is provided, by means of open quantum systems. Besides, a new definition of Boltzmann entropy for a quantum…
Ion-neutral chemistry at ultralow energies: Dynamics of reactive collisions between laser-cooled Ca^+ ions and Rb atoms in an ion-atom hybrid trap
Felix H. J. Hall, Pascal Eberle, Gregor Hegi +4
Cold chemical reactions between laser-cooled Ca^+ ions and Rb atoms were studied in an ion-atom hybrid trap. Reaction rate constants were determined in the range of collision energ…
Light-Assisted Cold Chemical Reactions of Barium Ions with Rubidium Atoms
Felix H. J. Hall, Mireille Aymar, Maurice Raoult +2
Light-assisted reactive collisions between laser-cooled Ba+ ions and Rb atoms were studied in an ion-atom hybrid trap. The reaction rate was found to strongly depend on the electro…
