Abstract:
New observation and control tools for molecules are providing powerful opportunities to study complex structure, interaction dynamics, and their applications to fundamental discovery and practical sensing needs. Meanwhile, quantum gases of polar molecules offer precisely tunable many-body systems to explore emergent quantum phenomena such as magnetism.
Speaker Biography:
