Dipolar gases of ground state molecules: NaK in Hannover
POSTER
Abstract
In the coming years, dipolar interactions will be one of the most promising tools in the field of ultracold atoms. Since the first realization of degenerate gases of dipolar atoms and the creation of large diatomic molecular samples in their rovibrational groundstate [1], a lot of experimental and theoretical interest has been focused on long-range interactions, anisotropy, exotic phase transitions and other peculiar phenomena. We will update you on our work in Hannover with details on the NaK experimental apparatus and on our effort to determine the most efficient adiabatic transfer from weakly-bound dimers to ground state dipolar molecules [2]. \\[4pt] [1] K.-K.
