Two independent mode-locked femtosecond lasers are tightly synchronized and phase locked. The rms timing jitter between the lasers is 4.3 fs within a 160 Hz
We investigate controlled collisions between trapped but separated ultracold atoms. The interaction between atoms is treated self consistently using an energy
Coherent vibrational and rotational dynamics of the Li 2 molecule is controlled by varying the relative phases, φ n, of the rovibrational wave packet components
