Collisions between dipolar molecules switch off at low energies
Original: Collisions between dipolar molecules ‘switch off’ at low energies
Researchers report that collisions between dipolar molecules effectively switch off at very low energies, a finding with implications for ultracold chemistry and quantum control of molecular interactions. The observation challenges expectations that polar molecules, which interact over long ranges, would keep colliding even in the ultracold regime. Physicists say the effect could help improve molecular cooling experiments and quantum simulation.
Why now: A new physics result surprising enough to interest researchers in ultracold chemistry and quantum science
