Laser-assisted binding of ultracold polar molecules with Rydberg atoms in the van der Waals regime
Vanessa Olaya, Jesús Pérez-Ríos, Felipe Herrera
We study ultracold long-range collisions of heteronuclear alkali-metal dimers with a reservoir gas of alkali-metal Rydberg atoms in a two-photon laser excitation scheme. In a low d…
coefficients for interacting Rydberg atoms and alkali-metal dimers
Vanessa Olaya, Jesús Pérez-Ríos, Felipe Herrera
We study the van der Waals interaction between Rydberg alkali-metal atoms with fine structure (; ) and heteronuclear alkali-metal dimers in the ground rovibrationa…
Entanglement creation in cold molecular gases using strong laser pulses
Felipe Herrera, Sabre Kais, K. Birgitta Whaley
While many-particle entanglement can be found in natural solids and strongly interacting atomic and molecular gases, generating highly entangled states between weakly interacting p…
Tunable Holstein model with cold polar molecules
Felipe Herrera, Roman V. Krems
We show that an ensemble of polar molecules trapped in an optical lattice can be considered as a controllable open quantum system. The coupling between collective rotational excita…
Tunable disorder in a crystal of cold polar molecules
Felipe Herrera, Marina Litinskaya, Roman V. Krems
In the present work, we demonstrate the possibility of controlling by an external field the dynamics of collective excitations (excitons) of molecules on an optical lattice. We sho…
