We investigate the dephasing of ultra cold ^{85}Rb atoms trapped in an optical dipole trap and prepared in a coherent superposition of their two hyperfine ground states by interaction with a microwave pulse. We demonstrate that the…
We discuss a possible one-dimensional trapping and cooling of atoms and molecules due to their non-resonant interaction with the counter-propagating light pulses trains. The counter-propagating pulses form a one-dimensional trap for atoms…

We investigate theoretically the possibility for robust and fast cooling of a trapped atomic ion by transient interaction with a pre-cooled ion. The transient coupling is achieved through dynamical control of the ions' equilibrium…
Experiments with ultracold atoms in optical lattices usually involve a weak parabolic trapping potential which merely serves to confine the atoms, but otherwise remains negligible. In contrast, we suggest a different class of experiments in…
We investigate loosely bound composite states made of dark matter, where the binding energy for constituent particles is less than the constituent mass. We focus on models of nuclear and molecular dark matter, where constituents are…

Pulse propagation is considered in an inhomogeneously broadened medium of three-level atoms in a V-configuration, dressed by a counter-propagating pump pulse. A significant signal slowdown is demonstrated in this of the three frequency…

We suggest a protocol for the sympathetic cooling of a molecular asymmetric top rotor co-trapped with laser-cooled atomic ions, based on resonant coupling between the molecular ion's electric dipole moment and a common normal mode of the…
