Kuznetsova, Elena, Yelin, Susanne F., Gacesa, Marko, Pellegrini, Philippe, Côté, Robin
We develop a complete theoretical description of photoassociative Stimulated Raman Adiabatic Passage (STIRAP) near a Feshbach resonance in a thermal atomic gas. We show that it is possible to use low...
Giant formation rates of ultracold molecules via Feshbach Optimized Photoassociation (2008)
Pellegrini, Philippe, Gacesa, Marko, Côté, Robin
Ultracold molecules offer a broad variety of applications, ranging from metrology to quantum computing. However, forming "real" ultracold molecules, {\it i.e.} in deeply bound levels, is a very...
Formation of deeply bound molecules via chainwise adiabatic passage (2008)
Kuznetsova, Elena, Pellegrini, Philippe, Côté, Robin, Lukin, M. D., Yelin, S. F.
We suggest and analyze a novel technique for efficient and robust creation of dense ultracold molecular ensembles in their ground rovibrational state. In our approach a molecule is brought to the...
Feshbach resonances in ultracold ^{6,7}Li + ^{23}Na atomic mixtures (2007)
Gacesa, Marko, Pellegrini, Philippe, Côté, Robin
We report a theoretical study of Feshbach resonances in $^{6}$Li + $^{23}$Na and $^{7}$Li + $^{23}$Na mixtures at ultracold temperatures using new accurate interaction potentials in a full quantum...
