Abstract Ultralong-range Rydberg molecules (ULRMs) comprise a Rydberg atom in whose
electron cloud are embedded one (or more) ground-state atoms that are weakly-bound …

The coupling of an isolated quantum state to a continuum is typically associated with
decoherence and decreased lifetime. For coupling rates larger than the bandwidth of the …

Special Issue dedicated to the fascinating field of cold and ultracold molecules. Over the
past few decades, the pursuit of manipulating and studying molecules at ultracold …

For bichromatically excited diatomic molecules modeled in a shifted Tietz-Wei molecular
potential, we demonstrate the occurrence of vibrational resonance (VR) when a saddle …

We perform three-photon photoassociation to obtain high resolution spectra of $^{87} $ Rb
trilobite dimers for the principal quantum numbers $ n= 22, 24, 25, 26$, and 27. The large …

We examine an effectively one-electron system with three positive nuclei composed of a Rb*
87 Rydberg atom interacting with a pair of Rb+ 87 ions and predict the existence of …

Long-range (n+ 2) D 5/2 n FJ Rydberg macro-dimers are observed in an ultracold cesium
Rydberg gas for 39≤ n≤ 48. Strong dipolar flip (〈 D 5/2 F 5/2| V ̂ dd| F 5/2 D 5/2〉,〈 D 5/2 …

H $ _3^{2+} $ is a one-electron system with three positive nuclei and is known to be
unstable in its electronic ground-state. We examine an analogous one-electron system …

The desire to further our understanding of complex physical phenomena and exploit
quantum mechanics for useful applications has driven the development of controlled …
