An ultracold high-density sample of rovibronic ground-state molecules in an optical lattice

by J. G. Danzl, M. J. Mark, E. Haller, M. Gustavsson, R. Hart, J. Aldegunde, J. M. Hutson, H.-C. Nägerl

Abstract:

Cooling molecules to ultralow temperatures is difficult owing to the fact they have many degrees of freedom. Now, a dense cloud of molecules in their lowest vibrational and rotational level has been prepared in an optical lattice, paving the way to Bose–Einstein condensation of ground-state molecules.
