DOI: 10.1039/d1cs01040a
Abstract: At temperatures close to absolute zero, the molecular reactions and collisions are dominantly governed by quantum mechanics. Remarkable quantum phenomena such as quantum tunneling, quantum threshold behavior, quantum resonances, quantum interference, and quantum statistics are… read more here.

DOI: 10.1103/physreva.99.013624
Abstract: We consider ultracold polar molecules trapped in a unit-filled one-dimensional chain in real space created with an optical lattice or a tweezer array and illuminated by microwaves that resonantly drive transitions within a chain of… read more here.

DOI: 10.1103/physrevlett.125.153201
Abstract: Permanent electric dipole moments (EDMs) of fundamental particles such as the electron are signatures of parity and time-reversal violation occurring in physics beyond the standard model. EDM measurements probe new physics at energy scales well… read more here.

DOI: 10.1103/physrevlett.129.243401
Abstract: Ultracold molecules undergo "sticky collisions" that result in loss even for chemically nonreactive molecules. Sticking times can be enhanced by orders of magnitude by interactions that lead to nonconservation of nuclear spin or total angular… read more here.

DOI: 10.1103/physrevlett.130.223401
Abstract: We demonstrate the formation of a single RbCs molecule during the merging of two optical tweezers, one containing a single Rb atom and the other a single Cs atom. Both atoms are initially predominantly in… read more here.
