Modeling the adiabatic creation of ultracold, polar ${}^{23}\mathrm{N}{\mathrm{a}}^{40}\mathrm{K}$ molecules

Frauke Seeßelberg, Nikolaus Buchheim, Zhen-Kai Lu +5

In this work we model and realize stimulated Raman adiabatic passage (STIRAP) in the diatomic ${}^{23}\mathrm{N}{\mathrm{a}}^{40}\mathrm{K}$ molecule from weakly bound Feshbach molecules to the rovibron…
