Abstract
We demonstrated that final states of ultracold scattering between atom and molecule can be selectively produced using dynamic magnetic fields of multiple frequencies. The mechanism of the dynamic magnetic field control is based on a generalized quantum Zeno effect for the selected scattering channels. In particular, we use an atom-molecule spin flip scattering to show that the transition to the selected final spin projection of the molecule in the inelastic scattering can be suppressed by dynamic modulation of coupling between the Floquet engineered initial and final states.
