Quantum engineering of novel ultracold complex molecular systems: from diatomic to polyatomic molecules

Operation co-funded by EU cohesion policy (European Regional Development Fund (ERDF)) under the programme Smart growth - PL - ERDF (2014PL16RFOP001), managing authority: Ministerstwo obsługujące ministra właściwego ds. rozwoju regionalnego. The source names no beneficiary for this operation. Location: Trójmiejski (NUTS PL633); Poland. Budget: total eligible expenditure EUR 488,615.4; EU co-financing EUR 488,615.4 (co-financing rate 100%), as stated by the source. Runs 2019-07-01 to 2023-03-28. Source: Kohesio, EU cohesion policy projects managed by national and regional authorities (not CORDIS). Summary from Kohesio (English machine translation by the source): We will propose and Theoretically investigate new ways of producing, controlling, and manipulating ultracold complex molecules including both diatomics in non-trivial electronic states and polyatomic molecules. We will investigate the formation of highly magnetic and polar molecules containing open-shell complex atoms such as lanthanides and we will propose new schemes of both sequential formation of polyatomic molecule from ultracold atoms using atom-by-atom ensembling as well as association of three or four atoms, and their subsequent stabilisation using optical transitions and coherent control. We will provide new hybrid formation schemes combining few-body effects, impact of static magnetic and electric fields, optical and microwave transitions optimally engineered in time and frequency domains all together for efficient production of complex molecules for new ultracold experiments exploiting features emerging from Conical intersections, geometric phase, and non-trivial Geometries.
