A Cold and Slow Molecular Beam

Due to the rich internal structures and the long range, anisotropic, and tunable interaction of polar molecules, increasingly efforts have been devoted to producing cold polar molecules for studying quantum simulation, cold, controlled chemistry, and precision measurements. We reported producing a cold, slow calcium monohydride molecular beam using a two-stage cryogenic buffer gas cell. This...

Quantum degenerate Bose-Fermi mixture of chemically different atomic species with widely tunable interactions

We have created a quantum degenerate Bose-Fermi mixture of 23Na and 40K with widely tunable interactions via broad interspecies Feshbach resonances. Twenty Feshbach resonances between 23Na and 40K were identified. The large and negative triplet background scattering length between 23Na and 40K causes a sharp enhancement of the fermion density in the presence of a...

Feynman diagrams versus Feynman quantum emulator

Precise understanding of strongly interacting fermions, from electrons in modern materials to nuclear matter, presents a major goal in modern physics. However, the theoretical description of interacting Fermi systems is usually plagued by the intricate quantum statistics at play. Here we present a cross-validation between a new theoretical approach, Bold Diagrammatic Monte Carlo (BDMC), and...
