We review the recent developments and the current status in the field of quantum-gas cavity
QED. Since the first experimental demonstration of atomic self-ordering in a system …

The technique of stimulated Raman adiabatic passage (STIRAP), which allows efficient and
selective population transfer between quantum states without suffering loss due to …

This paper presents a review of the current state of the art in the research field of cold and
ultracold molecules. It serves as an introduction to the focus issue ofNew Journal of Physics …

Written by two of the world's leading researchers in the field, this is a systematic introduction
to the fundamental principles of coherent control, and to the underlying physics and …

The goal of the present article is to review the major developments that have led to the
current understanding of molecule–field interactions and experimental methods for …

The merging of coherent control (CC) and adiabatic passage (AP) and the type of problems
that can be solved using the resulting coherently controlled adiabatic passage (CCAP) …

We report here on the production of an ultracold gas of tightly bound Rb 2 triplet molecules
in the rovibrational ground state, close to quantum degeneracy. This is achieved by optically …

Photoassociation of molecules out of an ultracold gas was thefirst successful approach to
create a gas of molecules in the electronic ground state at translational temperatures in the …

Progress on research in the field of molecules at cold and ultracold temperatures is reported
in this review. It covers extensively the experimental methods to produce, detect and …

Using the technique of stimulated Raman adiabatic passage (STIRAP) we have coherently
transferred ultracold Rb 2 87 Feshbach molecules into a more deeply bound vibrational …
