Description:

Title: Ultracold Molecular Assembler 

Speaker: Kang-Kuen Ni, Harvard University, Department of Chemistry

Abstract: Single molecule detection and manipulation have been powerful approaches to study systems without ensemble averaging. We take this inspiration to study chemistry and physics at the ultracold regime where low entropy gas could be prepared and interactions between particles could be individually tuned. To assemble ultracold molecular system from single atoms and single molecules, our approach relies heavily on high fidelity internal and external quantum-state controls of atoms and molecules. I will report on our progress toward assembling a configurable molecular array atom-by-atom.
