Single atoms and molecules can be trapped in tightly focused beams of light that form
'optical tweezers', affording exquisite capabilities for the control and detection of individual …

Advances in atomic, molecular, and optical physics techniques allowed the cooling of simple
molecules down to the ultracold regime (1 mK) and opened opportunities to study chemical …

A diversity of experimental techniques has been developed over the last 25 years to create
samples of molecular gases at temperatures close to the Absolute Zero—here we consider …

Polyatomic molecules have rich structural features that make them uniquely suited to
applications in quantum information science,–, quantum simulation,–, ultracold chemistry …

Neutral quantum absorbers in optical lattices have emerged as a leading platform for
achieving clocks with exquisite spectroscopic resolution. However, the studies of these …

While data qubits with a long coherence time are essential for the storage of quantum
information, ancilla qubits are pivotal in quantum error correction (QEC) for fault-tolerant …

We report optical trap** of a polyatomic molecule, calcium monohydroxide (CaOH). CaOH
molecules from a magneto-optical trap are sub-Doppler laser cooled to 20 (3) μ K in free …

Polar molecules are a quantum resource with rich internal structure that can be coherently
controlled. The structure, however, also makes the state preparation and measurement …

We report the preparation of exactly one 87 Rb atom and one 133 Cs atom in the same
optical tweezer as the essential first step towards the construction of a tweezer array of …

Gaining control over chemical reactions at the quantum level is a central goal of cold and
ultracold chemistry. Here we demonstrate a method for coherently steering the reaction flux …
