Probabilistic state preparation of a single molecular ion by projection measurement
I. S. Vogelius, L. B. Madsen, M. Drewsen
We show how to prepare a single molecular ion in a specific internal quantum state in a situation where the molecule is trapped and sympathetically cooled by an atomic ion and wher…

Rotational cooling of heteronuclear molecular ions with ^1-Sigma, ^2-Sigma, ^3-Sigma and ^2-Pi electronic ground states
I. S. Vogelius, L. B. Madsen, M. Drewsen
The translational motion of molecular ions can be effectively cooled sympathetically to translational temperatures below 100 mK in ion traps through Coulomb interactions with laser…

Rotational cooling of molecules using lamps
I. S. Vogelius, L. B. Madsen, M. Drewsen
We investigate theoretically the application of tailored incoherent far-infrared fields in combination with laser excitation of a single rovibrational transition for rotational coo…
