Hybrid systems of laser-cooled trapped ions and ultracold atoms combined in a single
experimental setup have recently emerged as a new platform for fundamental research in …

Molecular hydrogen interacts more strongly when rotationally excited at low temperatures leading to faster reactions

Y Shagam, A Klein, W Skomorowski, R Yun… - Nature …, 2015 - nature.com
The role of internal molecular degrees of freedom, such as rotation, has scarcely been
explored experimentally in low-energy collisions despite their significance to cold and …

Unified model of ultracold molecular collisions

JFE Croft, JL Bohn, G Quéméner - Physical Review A, 2020 - APS
A scattering model is developed for ultracold molecular collisions, which allows inelastic
processes, chemical reactions, and complex formation to be treated in a unified way. All …

Coherent Control of ultracold molecular collisions: The role of resonances

A Devolder, TV Tscherbul, P Brumer - The Journal of Physical …, 2023 - ACS Publications
We consider the coherent control of ultracold molecule–molecule scattering, impacted by a
dense set of rovibrational resonances. To characterize the resonance spectrum, a …

Quantum reactive and elastic cross sections and rate coefficients have been calculated for
D++ H 2 (v= 0, j= 0) collisions in the energy range from 10− 8 K (deep ultracold regime) …

Cold atomic and molecular collisions: approaching the universal loss regime

MD Frye, PS Julienne, JM Hutson - New Journal of Physics, 2015 - iopscience.iop.org

Collisions in a dual-species magneto-optical trap of molecules and atoms

S Jurgilas, A Chakraborty, CJH Rich… - New Journal of …, 2021 - iopscience.iop.org
We study inelastic collisions between CaF molecules and 87 Rb atoms in a dual-species
magneto-optical trap. The presence of atoms increases the loss rate of molecules from the …

Signature of the -Wave Regime High above Ultralow Temperatures

R Côté, I Simbotin - Physical Review Letters, 2018 - APS
Resonant exchange is a general process playing a key role in many-body dynamics and
transport phenomena, such as spin, charge, or excitation diffusion. The underlying process …

Exact thermodynamics for weakly interacting normal-phase quantum gases: Equations of state for all partial waves

XY Gao, D Blume, Y Yan - Physical Review Research, 2024 - APS
While the thermodynamics for bosonic systems with weak s-wave interactions has been
known for decades, a general and systematic extension to higher partial waves has not yet …

Universality and threshold laws for collision lifetimes at ultralow temperatures

R Hermsmeier, TV Tscherbul - Physical Review A, 2024 - APS
While collision lifetimes are a fundamental property of few-body scattering events, their
behavior at ultralow temperatures is not completely understood. Using multichannel …
