The last few years have seen rapid progress in the application of laser cooling to molecules.
In this review, we examine what kinds of molecules can be laser cooled, how to design a …

This paper reviews recent advances in the study of strongly interacting systems of dipolar
molecules. Heteronuclear molecules feature large and tunable electric dipole moments …

Magneto-optical trap** and sub-Doppler cooling have been essential to most experiments
with quantum degenerate gases, optical lattices, atomic fountains and many other …

Ultracold molecules are ideal platforms for many important applications, ranging from
quantum simulation,,,–and quantum information processing, to precision tests of …

We demonstrate significantly improved magneto-optical trap** of molecules using a very
slow cryogenic beam source and either rf modulated or dc magnetic fields. The rf magneto …

We demonstrate a scheme for magneto-optically trap** strontium monofluoride (SrF)
molecules at temperatures one order of magnitude lower and phase space densities 3 …

We demonstrate the efficient transfer of molecules from a magneto-optical trap into a
conservative magnetic quadrupole trap. Our scheme begins with a blue-detuned optical …

Since the original work on Bose–Einstein condensation,, the use of quantum degenerate
gases of atoms has enabled the quantum emulation of important systems in condensed …

Recently, laser cooling methods have been extended from atoms to molecules. The complex
rotational and vibrational energy level structure of molecules makes laser cooling difficult …

We demonstrate coherent microwave control of the rotational, hyperfine, and Zeeman states
of ultracold CaF molecules, and the magnetic trap** of these molecules in a single …
