Ultracold Polar Molecules: New Phases of Matter for Quantum Information and Quantum Control

Abstract

The research project for this grant under the MURI program aimed to understand and exploit the formation, collisions and ultracold chemistry, and the electric, magnetic and electromagnetic field control of weakly and strongly bound states of ultracold molecules and to use the novel control features of these systems to produce and characterize new phases of quantum matter and to find ways of realizing scalable quantum logic and computation with ultracold molecules. Effective exploitation of the new scientific and technological opportunities with ultracold molecules requires an integration of experimental and theoretical efforts involving atomic and molecular physics, few-body physics, the condensed matter physics of quantum degenerate atomic and dipolar molecular gases, quantum chemistry, and quantum information science.
