DOI: 10.1088/1367-2630/adf913
Abstract: The helium dimer in its metastable triplet state is a promising candidate to be the first laser-cooled homonuclear molecule. An ultracold gas of He 2* would enable a new generation of precision measurements to test… read more here.

DOI: 10.1103/physreva.110.013314
Abstract: We consider ultralong-range polyatomic Rydberg molecules formed by combining a Rydberg cesium atom and a ground-state RbCs molecule. We explore the regime where the charge-dipole interaction due to the Rydberg electron with the diatomic polar… read more here.

DOI: 10.1103/physreva.111.042816
Abstract: Ultralong-range Rydberg molecules, composed of an excited Rydberg atom and a ground-state atom, are characterized by large bond lengths, dipole moments, sensitivity to external fields, and an unusual binding mechanism based on low-energy elastic electron… read more here.

DOI: 10.1103/physrevlett.134.133401
Abstract: We present a new approach to investigating Rydberg molecules by demonstrating the formation and characterization of individual Rb^{*}Cs Rydberg molecules using optical tweezers. By employing single-atom detection of Rb and Cs, we observe molecule formation… read more here.
