Resonant control of polar molecules in an optical lattice

February 1, 2012
Author(s)
Thomas M. Hanna, Eite Tiesinga, William F. Mitchell, Paul S. Julienne
We study the resonant control of two nonreactive polar molecules in an optical lattice site, focussing on the example of RbCs. Collisional control can be achieved by tuning bound states of the intermolecular dipolar potential, by varying the applied

Spatial separation in a thermal mixture of ultracold174Yb and 87Rb atoms

April 21, 2011
Author(s)
F. Baumer, F. Munchow, A. Gorlitz, Stephen Maxwell, Paul S. Julienne, Eite Tiesinga
We report on the observation of unusually strong interactions in a thermal mixture of ultracold atoms which cause a significant modification of the spatial distribution. A mixture of 87Rb and 174Yb with a temperature of a few μK is prepared in a hybrid

Creation and manipulation of Feshbach resonances with radio-frequency radiation

August 12, 2010
Author(s)
Thomas M. Hanna, Eite Tiesinga, Paul S. Julienne
We present a simple technique for studying collisions of ultracold atoms in the presence of a magnetic field and radio-frequency radiation (rf ). Resonant control of scattering properties can be achieved by using rf to couple a colliding pair of atoms to a

Feshbach resonances in ultracold gases

April 29, 2010
Author(s)
Chin P. Cheng, R Grimm, Paul S. Julienne, Eite Tiesinga
Feshbach resonances are the essential tool to control the interaction between atoms in ultracold quantum gases. They have found manifold experimental applications, opening up the way to important breakthroughs. This Review gives a broad coverage of the

Radiofrequency dressing of multiple Feshbach resonances

November 3, 2009
Author(s)
A M. Kaufman, R P. Anderson, Thomas Hanna, Eite Tiesinga, Paul S. Julienne, D S. Hall
We demonstrate and explain the coupling of several proximate Feshbach resonances in $^87}$Rb using radiofrequency (rf) radiation. We present accurate measurements of the resonances and observe the changes in the scattering properties that arise through the

Collisional cooling of ultra-cold atom ensembles using Feshbach resonances

September 8, 2009
Author(s)
Ludwig G. Mathey, Eite Tiesinga, Paul S. Julienne, Charles W. Clark
We propose a new type of cooling mechanism for ultra-cold fermionic atom ensembles, which capitalizes on the energy dependence of inelastic collisions in the presence of a Feshbach resonance. We first discuss the case of a single magnetic resonance, and

Multi-channel modeling of the formation of vibrationally cold polar KRb molecules.

May 14, 2009
Author(s)
Svetlana Kotochigova, Eite Tiesinga, Paul S. Julienne
We describe the theoretical advances that influenced the experimental creation of vibrationally and translationally cold polar 40K87Rb molecules [Nature Phys. 4, 622 (2008), Science 322, 231 (2008)]. Cold molecules were created from very-weakly bound

Prediction of Feshbach resonances from three input parameters

April 30, 2009
Author(s)
Thomas M. Hanna, Eite Tiesinga, Paul S. Julienne
We have developed a model of Feshbach resonances in gases of ultracold alkali metal atoms using the ideas of quantum defect theory. Our model requires just three parameters - the singlet and triplet scattering lengths, and the coefficient of the long range

Probing interactions between ultracold fermions

April 17, 2009
Author(s)
G K. Campbell, M M. Boyd, J W. Thomsen, M J. Martin, S Blatt, M D. Swallows, Travis L. Nicholson, Tara Fortier, Christopher W. Oates, Scott Diddams, Nathan D. Lemke, Pascal Naidon, Paul S. Julienne, Jun Ye, Andrew Ludlow
At ultracold temperatures, the Pauli exclusion principle suppresses collisions between identical fermions. This has motivated the development of atomic clocks using fermionic isotopes. However, by probing an optical clock transition with thousands of

Avoided crossings between bound states of ultracold Cesium dimers

November 5, 2008
Author(s)
Jeremy M. Hutson, Eite Tiesinga, Paul S. Julienne
We present a new computational method for calculating bound states of ultracold alkali metal dimers in the presence of magnetic fields. The new method is based on propagation of coupled differential equations and does not use a basis set for the

Comment on 'Laterally Squeezed Excitonic Wave Function in Quantum Wires'

October 16, 2008
Author(s)
Garnett W. Bryant, Y B. Band, Paul S. Julienne
Recent magnetophotoluminescence data on T-shaped quantum wires is reinterpreted based on a detailed theory of magnetoexcitons in T-shaped quantum wires. We show that the previous analysis greatly overestimates exciton squeezing in T-shaped wires.
