Quantum Control of Ultracold Molecules By Electric Fields
The study of molecular collisions at the lowest possible energy has emerged as an exciting research frontier. At low energies the wave-character of matter leads to exotic scattering phenomena that reveal the fundamental mechanisms of molecular collisions. Crossed beam methods are ideal to probe collisions with the highest detail, but the lowest energy currently achievable is not sufficient to fully harvest these possibilities. Building upon my recent breakthrough in state-to-state merged beam scattering at record-low energies, the aim of this project is to reduce the currently attainable collision energy by another 2-3 orders of magnitude by combining Stark deceleration, merged beams, laser…
