Ultracold dipolar molecules are a powerful benchmark where to observe exotic phenomena and simulate strongly correlated systems on demand. In our lab we follow two complimentary routes to produce ultracold samples of molecules. One experiment employs coherent association of ultracold NaK-molecules from a quantum degenerate mixture of Na and K. In the other experiment we implement direct cooling of CaF molecules and develop new laser cooling techniques suitable for molecules.
Different topics are available.
The candidate must preferably have a good background in atomic physics and laser technics.
