Ultracold Molecules in the Ro-Vibrational Triplet Ground State
F. Lang, K. Winkler, C. Strauss +2
We report here on the production of an ultracold gas of tightly bound Rb2 molecules in the ro-vibrational triplet ground state, close to quantum degeneracy. This is achieved by opt…
Coherent optical transfer of Feshbach molecules to a lower vibrational state
K. Winkler, F. Lang, G. Thalhammer +3
Using the technique of stimulated Raman adiabatic passage (STIRAP) we have coherently transferred ultracold 87Rb2 Feshbach molecules into a more deeply bound vibrational quantum le…
Repulsively bound atom pairs: Overview, Simulations and Links
A. J. Daley, A. Kantian, H. P. Büchler +6
We review the basic physics of repulsively bound atom pairs in an optical lattice, which were recently observed in the laboratory, including the theory and the experimental impleme…
Long Distance Transport of Ultracold Atoms using a 1D optical lattice
Stefan Schmid, Gregor Thalhammer, Klaus Winkler +2
We study the horizontal transport of ultracold atoms over macroscopic distances of up to 20 cm with a moving 1D optical lattice. By using an optical Bessel beam to form the optical…
Repulsively bound atom pairs in an optical lattice
K. Winkler, G. Thalhammer, F. Lang +6
Throughout physics, stable composite objects are usually formed via attractive forces, which allow the constituents to lower their energy by binding together. Repulsive forces sepa…
Long-lived Feshbach molecules in a 3D optical lattice
Gregor Thalhammer, Klaus Winkler, Florian Lang +3
We have created and trapped a pure sample of 87Rb2 Feshbach molecules in a three-dimensional optical lattice. Compared to previous experiments without a lattice we find dramatic im…
