Microwave shielding with far-from-circular polarization

Quantum Physics 2020-04-15 v1 Atomic Physics

Abstract

Ultracold polar molecules can be shielded from fast collisional losses using microwaves, but achieving the required polarization purity is technically challenging. Here, we propose a scheme for shielding using microwaves with polarization that is far from circular. The setup relies on a modest static electric field, and is robust against imperfections in its orientation.
