Research explores complex quantum systems at ultracold temperatures
Preparing and controlling complex physical systems down to the quantum level is one of the greatest challenges in modern atomic and molecular physics. This control is mostly achieved by preparing physical systems at temperatures close to absolute zero. The EU-funded TRITRAMO project aims to realise the next milestone on the way to increasingly complex quantum systems at ultracold temperatures. Researchers will cool down diatomic molecules by precisely controlling their collisions. If efforts are successful, a Bose-Einstein condensate can be produced from these diatomic molecules, which can be used to analyse new quantum phases. Moreover, researchers will produce and control small polyatomic molecules – trimers and tetramers – from diatomic molecules under controlled conditions to further understand their properties. |
